High-End Memory Prices - Week of October 27, 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 displayed a few price changes, but nothing out of the ordinary. There was a lone double-digit price cut, as the pqi POWER Series PC3200 1GB module dropped by $10, but the next largest decrease was only $5 off Kingston ValueRAM PC3200 1GB. At the other end of the chart, we found a couple of noticeable price increases, including $9 off the Mushkin Redline PC4000 1GB module. This was followed by a few $6 and $7 price spikes, which really helped dull any lower price trends, and helped account for a total chart drop of only $5.
