Hi all; Samsung reports mass production on 128Mbit x32 DDR chips on their website:

usa.samsungsemi.com

The "40" version of these parts have a clock period of 4ns. Since it is DDR, that means a 500MHz data rate, as mentioned in many places, for instance here:
semibiznews.com September 29, 2000

Bandwidth from the part is 500x4Bytes/sec = 2.0GB/sec, considerably faster than today's PC800 RDRAM chips. It only takes 4 chips to make a x128 memory with 8GB/sec bandwidth.

P.S. Sorry, still no report on how much those Samsung x32 128Mbit 500MHz DDR SDRAMs cost, but I bet they're not real cheap.
