I believe video cards are using GDDR3 not DDR3 (which I don't think
actually exists yet).  Graphics cards skipped GDDR2 rather quickly for
some reason.  Ram for video cards tends to be dual ported, which system
ream is not so they are not quite the same thing.  Some cheap video
cards using plain memory at a performance loss.

Well cheaper ram always makes me happy.
