I found these, but I don't get what makes one £100 and another £130, if there all the same make

also some of them say, Memory Type:DDR3

but my board supports DDR2 or is that just for ram

They're not the same make, there is actually quite a few different brands in your link. The thing most of them have in common is that they use the same GPU. But that doesn't necessarily make them identical.
Take a look at the technicals specs for these two for example.

The second one have a higher core and memory clock than the first one. Whether the slight increase in clock speed is actually worth the extra money is a whole nother question though.

What RAM your board supports only matters when buying RAM. Graphics cards control their own RAM so mobo support is not a factor.

Thanks Deerpark

You've been very helpful

I'll go with the cheaper one for now.

just an added note, its never worth purchasing a factory overclocked video card. you can overclock it at home for free.
