High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 15, 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 prices showed some movement, but the majority of listings remained stable. There were a pair of double-digit price cuts, both hitting Corsair modules, as the Corsair XMS PC3200 C2 1-GB and Corsair XMS PC3200 1-GB fell by $26 and $12, respectively. The next largest price decrease was only $2, and that was about it for any drops of notice. There was not much going on at the other end of the chart, as a $3 increase to Crucial Ballistix PC4000 512-MB was the largest price jump. The overall single-module DDR trends were very similar, and while the total chart decrease of $36 certainly isn't that exciting, it is better than the small $7 drop we had in the previous guide.
