High-End Memory Prices - Week of August 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.

In this month's single-module DDR chart, there was again very little price movement, and the overall trends were almost a complete wash. There was only one double-digit price drop, as the Mushkin Redline PC4000 1GB listing fell by $11. The next largest decrease was only $5 off the price of a G.SKILL PC3200 CAS2 1GB module, while a $7 spike to Super Talent PC3200 1GB represented the largest price increase. The overall chart trends were hardly a surprise, and our total chart movement only amounted to a single dollar decrease from our previous guide.
