High-End Memory Prices - Week of March 17, 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.

There is not very much going on in the single-module DDR chart, and the individual memory listings show only nominal price drops. The largest shift is a $9 cut to Crucial Ballistix PC4000 1-GB, which is followed up by a $3 decrease to Mushkin Value PC3200 1-GB. Thankfully, the price increases were even more sedate, as a $2 jump to the Corsair Value PC3200 1-GB module was the largest we could find, along with a small set of $1 price increases. The overall trends for single-module DDR moved in a positive direction for buyers, but the aggregate drop only totaled $16 over the past two weeks.
