A question about dual channel configuration

Does Asus A8V Delux Rev 2.0 motherboard support dual channel configuration?

I have a 1G Kingston ValueRam DDR400

KVR400X64C3A/512 - Part Detail
Description: 512MB 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3
Specifications: Standard 64M X 64 Non-ECC 400MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.6V, CL3, Gold)

Does this RAM support dual channel configuration?

Is dual channel configuration same as DDR2?
 
DDR2 modules are physically different (and incompatible) with DDR. The A8V Deluxe does support two memory channels and you can use two or four matching modules to get dual-channel operation out of it. There's nothing inherently different about the modules in a "twin-pack" that's marketed for dual-channel situations, they're just two DDR modules that happen to be guaranteed to be identical to eachother.

The Kingston module you listed there will be fine. Get two of it, or four of it, and put them in the correct slots (the mobo manual shows which), and raise the mobo's DIMM voltage to at least 2.6 volts, and there you go 😎
