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 a bit more active than our last update, and shows a wide selection of noticeable price drops. A few even reached double-digit levels, including Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (-$30), Crucial PC3200 1-GB (-20), and Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB (-$14). As you can see, the top two movers featured 1-GB DDR modules, and as these are priced noticeably higher and have been on the mainstream market for less time, this is naturally one of the few areas where we continue to see price cutting.
