    I was wondering both these models to support dual channel memory if you have 2 sticks of ram correct? I have one 512 currently and in the near future plan to install a gig or another 512 stick.

    dont u think the usuage is crippling the proformance of the system? or is it something else? my Zx5000 is in no way slow except for the Hardive which can easily be changed.
