High-End Memory Prices - Week of February 18, 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.

The single-module DDR listings have not moved very much over the past few months, and last week's $49 total chart drop was the highest we've seen in a while. This month is not an improvement, and the $13 aggregate chart decrease is certainly not going to send DDR memory buyers looking for their wallets. Naturally, there is not much in the way of individual price cuts, although there was one double-digit drop, as the price of Kingston HyperX PC3200 1-GB fell by $10. The next largest decrease was only $2, and the highest-ranking price jump was a meager $4 increase to Crucial Ballistix TR PC4000 1-GB. This means another dead week for DDR prices, at least in the single-module area.
