same thing... intel started calling it ddr266 so that it would appear slower than pc800 rdram to your average consumer.

The PCxxxx designation is an indication of bandwidth, ie PC2100 = roughly 2.1 gigs/second.

DDR266 = speed (133 x 2 = 266)

Just two different ways of stating memory performance.
