You could try using ATI Tools to up your memory speeds. I wouldn't recommend it though. I'm sure PowerColor had their reasons for not clocking it higher. Bear in mind, since you're upping the speeds, you are "overclocking" and that voids the warranty.

This is the core speed of my Sapphire X700 Pro.
