High-End Memory Prices - Week of March 19, 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.

Throughout February, the price levels of single-module DDR dropped noticeably, and took back some of the price increases we saw in late-2006. Once March rolled around, that trend started to top out, and consistent pricing took over again. This week, we are seeing the same basic structure, with very few large price increases or decreases. There is only a single double-digit price shift on either side, as OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB dropped by $16, while Crucial Ballistix PC4000 512-MB jumped by $10. Otherwise, it was business as usual and the overall chart decrease of only $10 was on par with the individual prices in single-module DDR.
