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 price cuts, but certainly nothing out of the ordinary. There was only a single price change that reached double digits, as Mushkin PC3200 L2 512-MB fell by $18. The rest of the chart shifts were smaller price increases and decreases, with a slight advantage to the latter. The aggregate chart change was only -$29, which echoes the above pricing trends, and makes it a tough week for single module DDR buyers. This chart has been stable for a while now, and even this limited pricing movement is an improvement over last week, when the entire chart total only dropped by a single dollar.
