High-End Memory Prices - Week of June 11, 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 single-module DDR prices aren't dropping by the same amount of their DDR2 cousins, we've seen a slow but steady downward trend through 2007. That came to an abrupt end this week, as the aggregate chart movement only amounted to a $2 overall increase. There was only a single price drop that reached double digits, as Kingston HyperX PC4000 1-GB fell by the minimum of $10. It's almost the same story on the other end of the chart, as the price of Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 512-MB and Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB increased by $10 and $16, respectively. These are very strange trends indeed, especially if you take a peek at the next page.
