High-End Memory Prices - Week of February 20, 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 charts did have a few noticeable price shifts, but these were evenly distributed on both sides. In terms of price decreases, Kingston HyperX PC3200 1-GB fell by $19 and Crucial PC3200 2-GB dropped $10, which was the limit of the double-digit cuts. The price jumps were even more prolific, including a $30 spike to OCZ PC4800 EL Platinum Elite 512-MB and a $10 increase to Crucial Ballistix PC4000 512-MB. Thankfully, there were some smaller price drops to even things out, and the entire single module DDR listings fell by only a single dollar, outlining exactly how stable the overall chart was.
