The naming convention of DDR-SDRAM stems back to the initial battle with RAMBUS memory a couple of years ago. RAMBUS was released then as PC800 memory, DDR memory was released and known as DDR200 or DDR266 (relating to the actual bus speed (DDR200 is 100MHz CPU running at double rate because the data can be accessed from an AMD CPU twice per clock cycle)). People look at the numbers first when buying, just look at the struggle AMD is having against the sheer MHz difference Intel have over them, the performance may be similar but people buy MHz; it is the same situation here.
