High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 29, 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 is as consistent as we've seen in quite some time, and there is virtually nothing to report in terms of individual or overall price changes. The entire chart only fell by $15, and there was only a single price cut that reached double digits. Unfortunately, the $18 drop in the price of Crucial PC3200 2-GB was followed by a $21 spike to Crucial PC3200 1-GB, canceling the other out. The majority of single module DDR listings stayed at the same price level, making this a very uneventful week for DDR buyers.
