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 a continued downward trend, and in a bit of a surprise, it also has the largest aggregate price drop of the week. This actually sounds a bit stranger than it actually is, and single module DDR only checked in with an overall $84 chart drop, while the other memory sectors slowed down considerably. In terms of individual price cuts we have Crucial PC3200 2-GB dropping $27, OCZ PC3200 Performance Series 1-GB decreasing by $20, and Kingston HyperX PC3200 1-GB shaving $14 off its retail price.
