Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of November 10, 2008By SharkyExtreme.com Staff November 11, 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 displayed a few price changes in both directions, but with very little difference at the outer edges. A $12 price drop to Centon PC3200 1GB and a $9 cut to Mushkin Redline PC4000 1GB was answered by a price spike of $11 on the G.SKILL Value PC3200 1GB and an $8 jump to the pqi POWER Series PC3200 1GB. While the largest price changes were even and helped cancel each other out, there were more individual DDR price jumps in the $1-$7 range, leading to an aggregate chart increase of $19.
