Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of September 15, 2008By SharkyExtreme.com Staff September 15, 2008The 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 chart doesn't show a lot of activity, and in fact, there is not a single price drop that even approaches double-digit territory. The largest price cut is $7 off both the Corsair XMS PC3200 1GB and OCZ PC3200 Performance 1GB modules, and the price increases aren't exactly burning up the charts either. The biggest here is a $4 jump to the AllComponents PC3200 1GB module, while another $3 added onto Kingston HyperX PC3200 512MB is the only other price increase in the chart. It's no surprise that the chart movement only totaled a $30 overall decrease.
