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 mostly stable pricing over the last few updates, and continues the trend again this week. Our last price guide showed prices rising more than usual, but this time the aggregate chart movement totaled only a $4 increase. The price increases and decreases were naturally quite equivalent, with four of them on each side reaching double digits. The largest price drop was a $41 cut to the price of Kingston HyperX PC3700 512-MB, while a $16 spike to Patriot PC3200LL 1-GB was the biggest price increase. What evened it out was more numerous price increases in the $1 to $9 range, which smoothed out the big $41 price drop.
