If it's a socket 754 board, it is single channel, if it's 939 it's dual channel. AMD has the memory conroller on the CPU itself, so it's actualy the proccessor that determins if it uses single or dual channel. Also, there is really no such thing as dual channel memory, as again, it's the memory conroller that determines single or dual channel. Dual channel ram kits, are just 2 of the same sticks pacakged together. You could just the same buy the same 2 stick individualy and run dual channel. So either way the ram will work on your board, if it's socket 754 it will just work in single channel mode.
