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.
This week's single module DDR price list shows continued downward trends, but this was mainly the result of a single price cut, where $42 was shaved off the cost of Kingston HyperX PC3200 1-GB. That was the only price movement - in either direction - that reached double-digits and the aggregate chart drop of only $56 clearly illustrates this. Overall, it is still a good week for DDR buyers, with eleven modules showing lower prices, but these were quite nominal to say the least.
