High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 2, 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 PC5000 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 showed a bit more activity this week, but it still lags a bit behind the matched pair DDR and DDR2 lists. In terms of individual price cuts, there are a few significant ones, including a whopping $60 off the price of OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum 1-GB. Also ranking pretty high are Corsair XMS PC3200 1-GB (-$31), Corsair XMS PC3200XL 512-MB (-$28), and OCZ PC3200 PS 1-GB (-$21). As you can see, the 1-GB modules are where the majority of activity is taking place, and these represent three of the top four DDR price drops.
