High-End Memory Prices - Week of February 4, 2008

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.

While it was certainly not that significant, there is still some movement in the single-module DDR chart this week, and one noticeable price drop to report. That was a $34 cut to the price of Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC4000 1-GB, which is the biggest price decrease we've seen in this chart in some time. The next-largest price cut was only $7, but there was a large selection of smaller drops, which do add up. The only price increase was a $17 jump to Kingston HyperX PC4000 1-GB, and this caused the overall chart trends to favor the customer this week, with an aggregate drop of $49. This may not seem like much, but it's still an improvement on previous guides.
