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 been mostly stable over the past month, but we're starting to see the first chinks in that armor. The overall chart total increased by $89, a big jump from the +$4 we found in our last edition. The price cuts were also virtually nonexistent, with only two in evidence, and the largest being only a measly $3. On the other side of the coin, price increases were far more numerous, and there were even four that reached double digits. These included the Patriot PC3200LL 1-GB (+$17), OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB (+$16), Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB (+$13), and OCZ PC3200 EL 1-GB (+$11) DDR modules.
