High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 13, 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 chart showed very little in the way of price drops, and with the exception of one significant decrease, it was business as usual. The lone double-digit price cut was $20 off the Centon PC3200 1GB module, which represents a significant portion of its original price. The next largest drop was only $9, and hit the AllComponents PC3200 1GB. Thankfully, the price increases were even less active, with only two modules showing higher prices, and the largest being a $3 jump to OCZ PC3200 Performance 1GB. The overall chart trends followed right along, and the total single-module DDR listings fell by $49.
