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 was quite stable this week, and there were only two double-digit price cuts to report. Mushkin PC3200 Level 2 512-MB dropped by $12 and Crucial PC3200 512-MB fell $10, but otherwise, there was only the usual selection of nominal price cuts. The overall DDR single module price drop was also quite small, owing to a few price increases, most notably Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1-GB (+$15) and Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (+$10).
