I purchased a motherboard a few weeks ago off ebay for my first build. Upon reading the specs i came across this:
Dual DDR400
I assumed this was a lamen term for Dual Channel. I was wrong. I checked numerous specification lists and all said that it only supported single channel. Needless to say, i was gutted. I read the officail Abit specs again, In DETAIL, this time.
Quote:
6.4GB/sec seems fantasic, but is it any better than dual channel. I assume not, but one can dream
Even if the board can transfer at 6.4GB\\sec, will the ram not bottleneck the system? at 400mhz i would think so?
Any opinions\\ideas\\comments?

Dual DDR combines the power of DDR400 with two 64-bit independent memory controllers, the 128-bit memory controller integrated on chip provides up to 6.4 GB/sec bandwidth for system memory, and gives you highest performance and cost-effective platform. |
