For this week DDR modules have been quiet as Crucial has not changed their prices since our last guide. We've added a 512MB PC2100 ECC and 64MB PC2100 module to the list which expands the selection of DDR modules that are currently available in the market. RDRAM is on its usual fall with a huge drop of $58 with the 256MB module as well as a $14 drop with the 64MB module. The fall in RDRAM corresponds with the continually falling prices with Pentium 4 chips which are, as we have mentioned numerous times before, increasing in numbers in the marketplace thus driving prices down.

For the first time in several weeks PC133 and PC100 modules are dropping a bit with some price drops more significant than others. The 256MB and 128MB flavors of PC133 CAS 3 memory have fallen quite a bit coming down to $70 and $38 respectively. PC133 CAS 2 memory is also on the fall with 256MB running for $92 and 128MB for $45 which is not too far off from CA3 prices. Hopefully these prices will remain in this "zone" of low prices but it's hard to say in what direction the prices will go in the future as many changes are occurring in the tech industry.
