High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 14, 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 haven't experienced the same kind of price drops as the DDR2 sector, but there has been some consistent downward movement. This trend continued again this week, and the aggregate chart drop for single-module DDR amounted to $91. In this total were six double-digit price drops, including the Patriot PC3200LL 1-GB (-$21), OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum 1-GB (-$17) and Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB (-$16) modules. Unfortunately, there was some activity on the other end of the chart, and even though only two listing increased at all, both Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (+$13) and Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 1-GB (+$15) jumped in price by double digits.
