The following chart outlines prices on name-brand, single module DDR prices. We've taken a cross-section of the top name brands (as voted by Sharky readers), and when possible, used the highest-end module possible. In the case of Corsair, this translates into "LL" or Low Latency, while Kingston HyperX, Mushkin "Level 2" (L2), and OCZ Enhanced Latency "EL" modules are also featured. Not all DDR clock speeds are available at these enhanced memory formats, and some of our PC4000 and up listings naturally use more standard timings and brand names. Tracked DDR is in the PC2700 to PC4400 range, but each vendor may have a different "high-end" speed, and might not offer all of the clock speed permutations.
The single DDR module price list doesn't show a lot of movement overall, but there are a few fluctuations here and there. The most obvious changes hit at the 1-GB level, with Crucial PC2700 dropping, while PC3200 rose by the same amount. Otherwise, we've got a lot of "no changes" across the board, along with more noticeable cuts to Corsair XMS PC4000 512-MB and Mushkin PC3200 L2 512-MB. OCZ was the most active memory brand and although prices didn't drop substantially, there were consistent price cuts through most of the line.
