Weekly Hardware Price Guides: May 2003 Edition

Well, even though there seems to be a lot of action in the other hardware categories, memory remains stagnant. Shockingly, this was one of the first weeks in a long time where DDR prices began to stabilize.DDR400 and DDR333 are still priced reasonably, at around $75 and $65 per 512MB respectively.Unfortunately, nothing much else is going on.We do suspect that we will see more DDR433 and DDR466 modules on the market with Springdale hitting in full force.Remember, this is an extremely overclockable chipset.

If you are in the market for memory, we think the extra $10 difference between DDR333 and DDR400 is money well spent. Some of our internal memory tests show that DDR400 increases overall system performance about 5% over DDR333. We have an upcoming articles concerning DDR400 performance on Intel 875P motherboards, so don't miss the upcoming official benchmarks.
