High-End Memory Prices - Week of July 23, 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.

The single-module DDR chart isn't displaying any new trends, and continues on a slow-and-steady downward path. There was a trio of double-digit price drops, including Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB (-$15), Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1-GB (-$14) and Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB (-$11). As you can see, Crucial was the big mover this week, and the company's DDR was responsible for the top five price cuts. On the other end of the scale, we have a single noticeable price increase, as Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB jumped by $16. The overall chart movement was certainly nothing to write home about, but at least the $46 drop was in the right direction.
