High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 18, 2004

Single Module DDR

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 is very stable again this week, with the only difference from the past month or so being that overall prices are increasing slightly. Sure, Kingston HyperX PC4000 512-MB dropped $12, but this was more than offset by price jumps such as OCZ PC3200 EL 512-MB and Corsair XMS PC3200LL 256-MB, which spiked $12 and $10 respectively. With matched pair DDR growing in popularity and DDR2 catching on with the enthusiast crowd, we expect this stability to continue.
