DDR runs at twice the fsb of SDRAM. If the motherboard is actually running at 266MHz fsb then data from RAM to CPU will travel twice as fast using DDR than SDRAM (which is 133MHz stock). Faster thoughput. But then disk I/O is still baduy these days. I'm still waiting for someone to invent a non-volatile solid state storage medium running at full processor speed in the Terra Byte size range.
