High-End Memory Prices - Week of February 16, 2009

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 has been showing consistently higher prices throughout 2009, and it looks like this trend is starting to kick into high gear. There was only a single price drop that hit double digits, as the Kingston HyperX PC3200 1GB module fell by $13. On the other side, there were three that jumped by similar amounts, including the Geil PC3200 1GB (+$17) and Ultra PC3200 1GB (+$10) modules. The majority of the DDR listings showed higher prices, which drove the chart to an overall increase of $89.
