MBENCH shows similar read/write speed under SSE. Read for INT and MMX are about the same. Write speed is 15% higher.

write speed should be better to a single sided row of memory chips...i would think with the single sided row stick you could lower your memory setting (make them tighter than the double sided) and in effect, get better or comparable read speed compared to the double sided.
