Not sure about that, but by now there should be plenty of memory benchmarks that are aware of multiple controllers/threads and as such provide scores that are more realistic.

Yes, provided the CPU and board use AM2+ or AM3 package. K8 has no support for unganged mode (which requires two independent memory controllers).

It's a BIOS setting, as Tony pointed out. But it should be noted that unganged mode will only be available on AM2+ boards.

I know this is old topic, but my 8450 on ASUS M2A-VM have bios options and CPU-Z shows as Dual unganged
