High-End Memory Prices - Week of January 23, 2006

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.

This week's single module DDR price list actually shows the most consistent drops of any memory type, and posts a healthy $44 aggregate chart decrease. Accounting for this is a set of three double-digit cuts, including the OCZ PC4000 EL 1-GB (-$18), OCZ PC4800 EL Platinum Elite 512-MB (-$15) and Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (-$14) modules. There was also a nice selection of smaller price cuts, but unfortunately, there were a few price increases that hit double digits as well, and rained a bit on the single-module DDR parade.
