no offense - but thats a pretty stupid question and if you knew what dual channel is you'd know the answer.
ill let u work this out dual channel motherboards have a 256bit wide ram controller, ddr ram is 128bit, two ddr sticks therefore is 256bit if the mobo's controller is that wide, hence, you get double the bandwidth. of course it'll help, it'll help alot

well u aint going to use most of that bandwidth; but u can lower the dividers to run it at lower speeds (say PC3200 at 700Mhz*8Bytes) which will give a transfer rate of 5600MB/s still at yet you will be able to tighten the latencies to 2-2-2-5-1 probably
