Section 2 of the "Time Capsule Setup Guide" for last year's box points to an Apple design manual. Perhaps a look here for "Designing AirPort Networks: Mac OS X v10.5 + Windows February 28, 2008 - 2 MB" gives you what you need. I found it to be very help to me, a rank novice in WiFi. The 77 pages were a bit more than I need. But yes, it seems that with the 2009 editions of Airport Extreme and Time Capsule, you can set up the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks separately to run simultaneously. By the way, the 2008 version Time Capsules (500GB) are still available at Small Dog Electronics for $199.99. At MacMall too.
