Not getting a dual channel set up on a dual channel capable board is a waste of money.

In terms of raw memory bandwidth it is around a 77% difference.

In terms of application performance less than 1.5% difference.

What applications are you using?

You're not going to notice any difference due to going from single channel to dual channel mode.

You might notice a difference due to the increase in the amount of system memory available to the OS and applications if your previous amount was inadequate.
