Whats the difference between buying 2x 256mb sticks of DDR PC3200 CAS2 and buying a package with 2x 256mb PC3200 CAS2 ram which claims it is optimized for Dual Channel DDR RAM? I don't think there is anything different in the ram, or is there some difference?

By the way, buying 2x 256mb sticks seperately turns out cheaper by like $30, thats why I'm just curious.

Well, the "optimized" stuff has (supposedly) been tested to ensure that it works in Dual-Channel mode, however if you are getting something like Kingston HyperX or Corsair (there are more, those are just my two favorite brands :)) you probably wont have a problem.
