High-End Memory Prices - Week of November 27, 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 displayed mostly consistent prices again this week, and this stable pattern has been in evidence for some time now. There was not a single price drop that registered in double-digits, with the largest being a $4 cut to the price of Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB and a $3 drop to Corsair XMS PC3200 1-GB. There were only a few price increases, but two of those certainly registered, with a pair of $11 price spikes hitting Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB and Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 1-GB. The aggregate chart movement amounted to a total increase of $25, and Crucial DDR was the main culprit, accounting for 100% of the price increases.
