High-End Memory Prices - Week of August 7, 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 shown stable pricing over the last few updates, but this week we start to see a more negative trend developing. The aggregate chart movement registered as an increase, and jumped by a hefty $93. There was also only a single price drop to be found, and this was just a small $4 cut to Crucial Ballistix PC4000 512-MB. There were quite a few price increases, including three that hit double digits, with OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum 1-GB jumping by $10, while OCZ PC4000 EL Platinum 1-GB and Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 1-GB spiked by $11 and $18, respectively.
