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.
Overall single DDR module prices have kept relatively stable this week, but again there are some noted price increases and decreases. Thankfully the cuts outnumber the spikes, and the cumulative drop is over the $100 mark. Some of the larger price drops include OCZ PC3700 EL Platinum 512-MB, which fell by a whopping $48, along with $10 cuts to both Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB and OCZ PC3200 PS 1-GB modules. This is great news for consumers, especially as the overall price change has been nominal in past weeks.
