    I had thought that there was only a small difference in gaming performance when comparing single channel to dual channel memory. I was wrong - you can see gains of up to 40% depending on the game and the resolution/quality preset that you're running the game at.

    I fully agree that dual channel will give boost performance ;) and with stock BIOS or unlocked BIOS.. you may have to tweak RAM timings which will also give another gain for performance :)

    There should be significant difference between dual-channel and single-channel
