Anyway to the point. DDR2 came around 3 years ago and was more widely adapated about a year ago. DDR2 max's its bus speed at 1266.. Where DDR3.. is the latest and greatest thing and handles all the newer/higher/faster bus speeds and the new CPU processors.

Ultimately depending on the configuration of the server the memory actually clocks down in speed. in other words if you have lots of smaller chips in the system y our bus speed slow down.

Realistically your system should be using a newer CPU on the ddr3.. pretty sure older cpus wont work with ddr3 so if thats the only difference your seeing.. someone might be lying to you on the cpu.. or just claiming its 4 cores.. but it could be a slew of difference, i3, i5, 3300 series 3400 series 5400 series 5500 series or 5600 series.
