How much faster, how's it work. why not just buy one 512 stick as opposed to 2 dual channel 256 sticks. Would i get the same effect by just buying 2 of these?

You need a Dual Channel Board to take advantage of Dual Channel RAM, I would recomend Kingston Hyper-X RAM with that being said.

If you use your RAM in dual-channel mode, your memory bandwidth should be twice as fast compared to the same amount of RAM in single-channel mode.

I thought that the only difference between the "dual-channel RAM" and the standard RAM was that the "dual-channel RAM" guarantees that the two sticks of RAM are perfectly matched.

Stoner, you don't have to be so harsh. None of us knows everything, after all.
