whats the difference bettween ddr Gddr and Gddr3?

I was looking at the 6800nu's

and this one has GDDR http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-130-202&depa=0

this one says just ddr http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-145-084&depa=0


and this one has Gddr3 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-150-068&depa=0

any ideas?

DDR1 is the same on both system ram and graphics. GDDR2 (5800, 5700, 9800 256) is somewhere between DDR and GDDR3, but it has higher voltages than GDD3, so it runs very hot. GDDR3 is the maturation of the GDDR2 tech and runs very cool, but has abysmal yeilds atm. DDR2 is a system ram thing and while sharing the same voltage as GDDR3 and hence having the same thermal advantages, the manner in which is functions is different from regular DDR and has no graphics counterpart.

so gddr3 is more powerful than ddr same as gddr but cooler than gddr?
