Interesting... I wasn't aware of any motherboards that REQUIRE dual
channel memory - its generally an option that is automatically enabled
when identical sticks are placed in the appropriate slots.
What make and model motherboard is this?

I am aware of some older memory types (72 pin SIMMS and RDRAM) that have
to be installed in pairs, but thats not really 'dual channel'.
