High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 28, 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.

While DDR memory prices continue to drop, these are not falling at the same level as their DDR2 cousins. Still, overall single-module DDR prices decreased by almost $100 this week, although the total chart drop was really caused by two individual listings. These were also both Crucial DDR entries, as Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB shed $41 off its retail price, and Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 1-GB dropped by $38. There were some other individual price cuts, but none was higher than $7. Only two DDR modules increased in price, although one of them was an $11 spike to Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB.
