I've not been able to get dual channel I/O speed faster than single 
interface speed, either as 'md' RAID0 or simultaneous reading or 
writing done the other day:

Time to write or read 500MB file:

MB/s            2.4.31-hf1      2.6.12.2
                w       r       w       r
single          15      25      19      23
dual            17.5    27      19      26

These timings show very little happening in parallel, is that normal?

Thanks,
