High-End Memory Prices - Week of February 5, 2007

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.

In our last update, single-module DDR was showing signs of emerging from its stable pricing trend, and this week we find even more downward activity. The overall chart decrease almost doubled, and this time out, the aggregate drop is a very impressive $147. This is big news for single-module DDR, which is an area that doesn't exact lead the price drop parade. In terms of individual cuts, there are six that hit double digits, including Kingston HyperX PC3200 1-GB (-$21), Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB (-$20), Crucial PC3200 1-GB (-$18), and Mushkin Hi-Performance PC4000 1-GB (-$18). The good news doesn't stop there, as the other end of the chart shows absolutely no activity, and not a single DDR module increased in price this week.
