High-End Memory Prices - Week of May 26, 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 pricing activity, nominal as it was, came to a complete halt this week. There were only five price changes, and of those, a trio of $1 price drops to Corsair Value PC3200 1-GB, Crucial PC3200 1-GB and Patriot PC3200 512-MB, were the only decreases in evidence. A pair of price increases, of which a $3 jump to pqi POWER Series PC3200 1-GB was the largest, helped cancel out the meager drops. This led to a very uneventful week in single-module DDR, with the chart showing an aggregate increase of a single dollar.
