Memory Pricing Guide |
High-End Memory Prices - Week of December 8, 2008By SharkyExtreme.com Staff December 9, 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. Once again, the single-module DDR chart shows very limited activity, with a $5 drop to the AllComponents PC3200 1GB module, and a pair of $4 cuts to the A-DATA Vitesta PC3200 1GB and pqi POWER Series PC3200 1GB listings, being the largest price breaks of the week. Unfortunately, the biggest price changes happened to be increases, as PNY Optima PC3200 1GB jumped by $6 and Kingston HyperX PC3200 1GB spiked by $10. But these were the only higher prices in the single-module DDR listings, and the overall chart movement showed a total drop of $9.
