High-End Memory Prices - Week of July 24, 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 very stable through the majority of listings, with most showing no price change at all. There were no significant price drops to report, and a $6 cut to Kingston HyperX PC4000 1-GB was the largest, with it being one of only three individual price decreases in this chart. The overall chart prices increased by a aggregate total of $26, which was due to the nine DDR module price drops, including a $12 spike to the price of Corsair XMS PC3200C2 512-MB. Overall, this is not a great week for DDR buyers, although stable price levels are preferable to rampant price spikes.
