There is no functional difference, except that the GDDR ram
can run at higher clock frequecies.

With an FPGA, the maximum clock frequency we
can hope to achieve is 200MHz (400 Mbits/s) so there
is no need to fit parts that clock higher than that, which
is in the limits of regular DDR SDRAM.

For the ASIC version of the card, we will use GDDR.

The better graphics cards all use GDDR RAM. Is it's interface
significantly different than normal DDR?
