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 not exactly a hub of activity this week, but at least overall prices are not increasing as we found in the last update. Sure, a $19 aggregate chart drop isn't something to write home about, but at this point in time, we'll take it. Overall price levels were still very consistent, with not a single price increase or decrease hitting double digits. There were twelve individual price drops, as opposed to only two that showed rising prices, which is another positive trend.
