In spite of PC1600 DDR SDRAM having stabilized in price, PC2100 modules continue to fall in price by significant margins making them cheaper than PC800 RDRAM. It will be interesting to watch how far DDR SDRAM prices will drop as Crucial, the memory giant, will soon be selling their PC2100 modules. On the other hand, PC2100 modules may also stabilize in the coming weeks as we are beginning to see other memory types slow in price changes.

Besides a few drops with "PC150" and PC133 CAS3 SDRAM, memory prices have remained the same or have experienced a price hike in some instances. For the end user this means that for the time being memory prices, especially with PC133 SDRAM, will probably drop no further than they have in the past and if anything will rise in price so now may be the time to buy RAM if you've been putting it off.
