High-End Memory Prices - Week of December 25, 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 chart may not be setting the world on fire in terms of price drops, but at least we're not looking at higher overall prices. The majority of listings showed consistent price levels, but there were eight individual drops, along with a pair of double-digit price decreases: G.SKILL PC3200 1GB fell by $20 and Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB dropped by $10. The price increases were virtually nonexistent, with only two modules rising at all, and only by $2 each. This resulted in a very respectable overall chart drop of $55, which is not far removed from the $75 decrease from our previous update.
