High-End Memory Prices - Week of June 12, 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 has been consistent for the past few guides, but the news gets even worse this week. Instead of stability, we get a $37 overall chart increase compared to our last price update, with no significant price drops to be found. The largest decreases were a $6 price cut to Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1-GB and a $3 drop to Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB. The single module DDR listings showing higher prices were not that impressive either, and other than a $26 spike to Patriot Extreme PC4000 1-GB, there was a host of smaller increases.
