High-End Memory Prices - Week of April 30, 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.

Single-module DDR prices continue to drop through 2007, which has been a nice change from the price jumps of late-2006. Our last few updates showed these flattening out somewhat, but with a $112 aggregate chart drop this week, we're back to standard trends in a real hurry. There were a few nice individual price cuts, as Kingston HyperX PC4000 512-MB fell by $52, while Kingston HyperX PC3700 512-MB and Kingston HyperX PC4000 1-GB dropped $20 and $15, respectively. This was a good week on both ends of the single-module DDR chart, as there was only a single double-digit price increase, with Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB rising by $16.
