Grab a little app called GPU-Z. It'll easily tell you what you need to know.

Personally i've found system requirements lab to be less than accurate quite a few times myself.

The 768meg on the GeForce is sort of an odd-ball size. It's likely that the program is fooled by some quirk of the memory structure. The card
"only" has 768meg.

Im thinking its the DDR(Double Data Rate) doing it. 768 X 2 = 1.536 MB. It may be reading its speed, and misinterpreting it as double the actual number.
