High-End Memory Prices - Week of July 10, 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 shows very stable prices again this week, and continues the trend of stagnant DDR price levels. After AMD introduced the new AM2 platform, we anticipated DDR prices moving one way or the other, but so far, there is no discernable activity. There was only a single price drop that even registered, as Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1-GB fell by $13, but this was offset by a $13 increase to the price of OCZ PC4000 EL XTC 1-GB. The overall chart movement only resulted in a measly $6 total drop and mirrors the trends in the overall DDR market.
