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 list shows mostly stable prices, with some noticeable cuts thrown in for good measure. Those looking for deals might want to peruse this chart, as Mushkin PC4000 512-MB, OCZ PC3200 EL 512-MB, Crucial PC2700 1-GB, and Corsair XMS PC4000LL 256-MB all received double-digit price cuts. As you can see from the above module list there is really no trend in evidence, and it really comes down to basic supply and demand, with some vendors offering sale prices in certain areas. With DDR2 and matched pair DDR really taking over the enthusiast market, it's nice to see the single module DDR prices dropping again.
