This has always confused me, I don't really know why they do it, let me give you an example.
DDR2 at 800mhz, is also PC2-6400
Can someone explain this?

The PC/PC2/PC3 (DDR/DDR2/DDR3) numbers are the aproximate bandwidth in MB/s the memory has.
So 800Mhz PC2-6400 RAM has aproximately 6,400MB/s of memory bandwidth.

Just to let you know, if you divide the PC-whatever number by 8, it will equal the DDR-whatever speed.
3200/8=400
6400/8=800
