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 actually quite stable over the last few weeks, and there were only a few small price drops to report. The $11 cut to Geil Ultra-X PC4400 512-MB was only one of note, and the sole price drop to hit double digits. The aggregate chart price change was a bit of surprise, coming in at over $50 in the positive column, and due to a whopping $75 spike on the price of a 2GB Crucial PC3200 module.
