They are both types of volatile memory (memory that only retain state whilst powered up)...aka, RAM.

GDDR3 stands for Graphics Double Data-rate 3rd generation random access memory. It is quite similar to DDR2 found in PCs as main memory but it is designed for lower power consumption and lower heat dissipation.

XDR is a type of memory designed to take on the likes of DDR2 and GDDR4 to be used in small, consumer-based high memory requirement applications. It is based around the principle of high bandwidth per-pin. Very, very fast **** with low latency.
