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.

Re: Simple question, dealing with numbers
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
3200/8=400
6400/8=800
AMD Opteron 1224SE "Santa Ana" = DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Crucial Ballistix 4x1GB DDR2 800 = Corsair CMPSU-750TX
Sapphire 4870 1GB = Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20" = Logitech X-530 5.1
Seagate 320GB (SATA II) x2 = Samsung SH-S203B (SATA)
