I found a microatx mobo on newegg for socket 754 that supports both PCI-E and Agp 8X and says it does dual channel memory. Now I thought that the socket 754 couldnt do dual channel? Here is the link to newegg and if you click on the product link it says that about dual channel. Also i thought pci-e slots were alot longer, would this work with the upcoming x800xl?

First the PCIe slot is 1x (meaning it won't support a video card , they are all 16x). Next, I don't care what the link says, socket 754 IS single channel. The memory controller is on the CPU.

Its SIS chipset.. they maybe able to do all the fancy stuff on their board but it looks like its mostly gimmick

I checked the link, but where does it mention dual channel memory, I don't see that on there.

Nowhere on the Newegg page is Dual-channel mentioned. I see on the Asus overview page it does mention dual channel, but not on the specs page??? I would be very leery - but such things can be done in the chipset - check the SiS web site for the capabilities of the chipset and perhaps an explanation of how DC-DDR is accomplished.
. Nothing on the SiS pages re the 760GX or the 965 mentions dual-channel DDR... But that does appear to be an interesting mobo option.
