It probably means 1500Mhz DDR. DDR=Double data rate so if it shows up as 750Mhz times that by two and thats the DDR value.

totally correct. 2 times 750 = 1500. Specs usually list the 1500MHz, but in overclocking programs they use the 750Mhz.

It's more of a marketing stratigy then anything else.

yeah, nvidia does that alot. From what i see, ati usually writes the actually memory speed, not the effective speed.

Its the same on almost all new cards. The memory may be marketed as 1200Mhz, but when you use a program it says 600Mhz. To find out what it is you just multiply it by two.

750 x 2 = 1500Mhz
