Sorry if this is a stupid question, or has already been discussed, I'm just a little confused?
What benefit does dual channel give? And would 1066 single channel be better than 800 dual channel?
phenom can run two 1066mhz it's 2gbs sticks put more stress on the IMC. 9 I haven't seen many running 8gbs yet.

in ganged mode it runs in one 128bit dual channel and unganged it runs two 64 bit channels.

there difference is in mutli-thread programs and single threaded programs
