    Does installing two dimms of ddr2 in dual channel cut the amount of ram in half

    If i run two sticks of 1gb ddr2 in dual channel mode on my board will they run at twice the bit rate but only effectively be 1gb in size. Is it like a raid config where using 2 hds to boost performance keeps the hd size at the size of one HD? Or does the mem run a little faster at 2gb capacity?
