This week was an incredible week for DDR prices. We mentioned last week that DDR prices were down significantly from prices a few weeks before. The price continues to bottom out on DRAM, hurting PC2700 especially. Our choice for DDR is an easy choice, with 512MB modules of PC2700 hitting all time lows. For those of you who have nForce2 boards, Dual Channel 2x512 Samsung PC2700 looks really attractive!

PC3700 DDR began to trickle into the market a little, with GeIL and OCZ hitting the market first. Unfortunately(?), we could not find any stores with a high enough rating to list all of OCZ's products this week. You may note we added a few other manufacturers including the much requested Crucial. Strangely, even though our bot crawls Crucial.com for memory prices, they still have yet to beat their distributors's! We are a little curious as to why Crucial does not seem to have any DDR above PC2700 on the market, but we suppose that will change eventually. Next week we plan on adding even more DDR so stay tuned!
