that Double Data Rate (DDR) RAM transfers data twice as fast as Single Data Rate (SDR) RAM.

SDR can only transfer data on one edge (falling or rising, can't remember) of the cycle, whereas DDR can send data on both the falling and rising.

Thus, even though the bus is only 64 bits wide, the same amount of data can (theoretically) be transferred.

The DDR pulls ahead, however, in overclocking. DDR is usually much more overclockable than SDR RAM, giving this video card an edge over cards with SDR RAM.
