High-End Memory Prices - Week of April 17, 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 are very consistent and show very little in terms of price fluctuations. The overall chart shift was in the consumer's favor to the tune of a $90 drop, but this was almost solely due to a whopping $75 price cut to Crucial PC3200 2-GB, and not a consistent single module DDR chart trend. There was only one other double-digit cut, as Corsair XMS PC4000 1-GB fell by $17, and otherwise, there was only a scattering of smaller $1-$4 price decreases. Single module DDR prices were not exactly streaking upwards either, and there was not a single price increase that hit double digits.
