High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 1, 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 listings show a very stable pricing trend again this week, and there is very little in the way of either price increases or decreases. The largest drop was only a $5 cut to the price of G.SKILL PC3200 1GB, while $4 was shaved off the retail cost of a Kingston HyperX PC3200 512-MB module. It wasn't any more exciting at the other end, as only a single DDR module increased in price, and that was just a meager $7 jump to the price of Corsair XMS PC3200 C2 1-GB. The overall chart totals are hardly surprising, as the listings fell by an aggregate total of only $7, which is much worse than the $40 drop we posted in the previous guide.
