Found this over at xbit labs dont know if it had already been posted. <A HREF="http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/memory/display/20040718141458.html" target="_new">http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/memory/display/20040718141458.html</A>

Basicly this right her tells you what you need to know.
Current GDDR3 that is used for high-end graphics cards nowadays may be clocked at up to 2.00GHz, providing bandwidth of 64GB/s for an application with 256-bit memory bus. The next incarnation of GDDR memory will be GDDR4 that is likely to be out next year and is expected to allow memory frequencies of up to 2.80GHz and effective bandwidth of about 89GB/s.

Today’s graphics processors require computing power more than memory bandwidth and developers of graphics chips will consider whether possibly more expensive XDR will deliver tangibly higher performance compared to GDDR4.

It is also not clear whether XDR supports 256-bit operation, but if it does, and with no substantially higher pricing, graphics processing units developers may bid on astonishing 102.4GB/s or higher bandwidth. In case it does not, 3.20GHz XDR devices are unlikely to become serious rivals for GDDR4 DRAMs able to work in 256-bit mode, a crucial feature for modern memory for graphics cards.

Officials for Rambus did not comment on the news-story.
