High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 16, 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 price list showed mostly stable price levels this week, and there were only four double-digit price changes, with two increases and two decreases. OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB fell by $32 and Crucial Ballistix PC3200 512-MB dropped $14, while Mushkin Hi-Performance PC4000 1-GB and Mushkin eXtreme PC4000 1-GB jumped by $11 and $22, respectively. The aggregate chart movement mirrored these trends, and showed a total decrease of only $1. From just a cursory look at the overall single-module DDR chart, this is exactly how we thought it would turn out, with the limited price drops canceling out the nominal price increases.
