Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of December 10, 2007By SharkyExtreme.com Staff December 10, 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 chart fails to show any real movement in either direction, and the overall chart shift totaled only a $6 decrease. Naturally, the price drops are not exactly burning up the charts, and the largest cut was $13 off Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 512-MB. The next in line was only a $5 drop, but it wasn't that much different on the other side of the chart. The largest price increases included the OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB (+$9) and OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum 1-GB (+$7) modules, and over half the single-module DDR listings showed zero change, making it a very uneventful week for buyers.
