High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 1, 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.

The single module DDR chart was consistent in terms of overall price movement, but there were a few individual fluctuations. The total chart dropped by only $35, which was behind even the lackluster DDR performance the last time out, but both OCZ PC3200 EL Titanium 1-GB (-$12) and OCZ PC3200 EL 512-MB (-$10) fell by double digits, and there were quite a few smaller price cuts as well. This is ruined a bit by one larger price increase, as Corsair XMS PC4000 1-GB jumped $17 and helped drive down the overall single module DDR chart performance.
