Dual Channel gives a little better performance, like 2%, I don't know why, but it does. Now if the Athlon went to 200MHz FSB, with a 100MHz FSB system bus, running dual channel, both busses DDR, you would have DDR400/64-bit connected to DDR200/128-bit, for matched bandwidth and excellent results. I've been pushing for a dual channel DDR chipset for Intel motherboards forever, but to no avail.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
