High-End Memory Prices - Week of August 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.

Our single-module DDR chart follows the popular trend and doesn't hold a lot of excitement. The largest price drops were an $8 cut to Super Talent PC3200 1GB and $7 off the price of a WINTEC AMPO PC3200 1GB module. Other than that, only a few $1 and $2 price drops were present. Only a single DDR module increased in price, as Crucial PC3200 1GB jumped by $5. Needless to say, this has been a very stable few weeks for DDR memory prices, and the overall chart trends mirror this. The single-module listings showed a total drop of only $19.
