Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 29, 2007By SharkyExtreme.com Staff October 30, 2007The 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 price list has been remarkably stable, and we see very little movement this week, either up or down. The largest price drop was a $10 cut to Corsair XMS PC3200 C2 1-GB, while $7 shaved off the price of OCZ PC3200 EL 512-MB was the only other noticeable downward change. It's not very different on the other end of the chart, as a pair of $5 price increases to Crucial PC3200 1-GB and pqi POWER Series PC3200 1-GB was the worst of the news. Naturally, the total chart shift was nominal, and totaled only a $4 overall decrease, well back of even the meager -$36 we posted in our last guide.
