High-End Memory Prices - Week of December 24, 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 has failed to show any real movement, in either direction, over the past few guide updates. This week, things change slightly, and we see an upward trend, punctuated by a trio of double-digit price increases: Kingston HyperX PC4000 1-GB (+$13), Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO 1-GB (+$13) and Crucial Ballistix PC4000 512-MB (+$10). This compares to none on the price decrease side of things, and the largest drop was only $5, hitting both the Corsair XMS PC3200 1-GB and OCZ PC3200 Special OPS 1-GB modules. These trends really came out in the overall chart movement, where we find a total increase of $32 compared to our previous guide.
