High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of March 21, 2005

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 module DDR price list shows a lot more movement than we've been accustomed to, and the largest cuts were reserved for the largest modules. Three 1-GB DDR modules, Crucial PC2700 (-$24), Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 (-$22), and Crucial PC3200 (-$17) provided the main attraction this week, although a few 512-MB module cuts also hit double-digit levels. There were also very few price increases to deal with, and other than Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (+$10) there were no other double-digit jumps to report. It is also a great week for price movement on the single-module DDR chart, as the total dollar change registered a whopping $150. This is certainly not in DDR2 territory, but it is a nice change over past weeks.
