High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 30, 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 continued to show stable price levels this week, but there was more individual activity than our last update. The chart included five double-digit price drops, and two similar price increases, but the aggregate chart decrease was surprisingly only -$14. OCZ PC3200 EL Titanium 1-GB fell by $15 and OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB dropped by $14, and a trio of $10 price cuts accompanied these. Unfortunately, the $29 price spike to Patriot PC3200LL 1-GB cancelled out a large chunk of that total, and helped turn single-module DDR into a more stable overall chart.
