Dual_channel DDR

[Raptorz_Wrath]

I know that the nForce 2 chipset (or atleast some versions) support dual channel ddr. I wanted to know exactly what that is? How much of a speed boost does it offer? And is it for all ddr speeds or just DDR 400?
THanks

Tom's did a few articles on it. Look in the motherboards section.

Nforce2 - a7n8x/2-512m DDR 2700 cas=2.5, Slots 1 & 3,set aggressive...
Sandra says: 2601 MB/s - Data Item Size - 8-Bytes/64-bytes

As compared to reference sys645dx: 2585 MBs
Nforce just a hair faster...
Have never tried it with just 1 mem module.

but bump the FSB up to about 180/360 async and sandra goes 3000+ MB/s(whew!)
That's smokin 845E PC3200 & KT333 PC3200...

However, one would think,
Dual(2)Channel * DDR 2700 should ~= 5400! - Humm...

But Hey, Americans will buy anything that's buzzed.
They've been buyin "two by four's" so long, they either expect to get shorted, don't measure, or just cant add!!!

Ok, toms has articles on it and even labeled Duall DDR but they don't say anything about it, if you read through them they don't explain it at all. And all the benchmarks are the same and don't compare the different speeds. Please someone just link me to or tell me the answers to my questions.
