High-End DDR Memory Prices - Week of May 30, 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 some activity this week, but it was far more stable than we anticipated. The vast majority of listings showed little or no change, and without a couple of larger price drops, this would be a very boring update. More significant price cuts affected the following modules: Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (-$32), Mushkin PC2700 L2 512-MB (-15), Kingston HyperX PC3200 512-MB (-$12), and Corsair XMS PC4400 C25 512-MB (-$10). These were the only double-digit cuts in the chart, and it's very surprising that three out of the four were 512-MB DDR listings. This is different from past updates, where the 1-GB modules were at the top of the chart.
