EVGA Motherboard: Dual Channel on Socket 754?

[danklumpp]

If you look on newegg.com, and look for the eVGA motherboard, the pictures show on the box that it supports dual channel. On a socket 754 motherboard? Has anyone had any experience with the motherboard? If so, does it work well.

No possible way that S754 can support dual-channel. The memory controller is integrated into the CPU, thus it's not possible to have dual channel on an S754 CPU.

You are both right. The box does claim dual channel support. Kensai is right that the memory controller is on the CPU and is definitely a single channel controller. The box is wrong.

It's a reference style board, just like their video cards. I considered getting one but my Soltek board is hanging tough. I'll keep it until I go s939 later this year.

No way man. I'm holding out for the new ULi action. I don't want to spend the $ on a PCI-e card. I'd rather use my current card (I got another 6800GT) and put the extra money into a faster CPU and another gig of RAM.
