right now, I know I am not since I have 768 MB pc2700 RAM. But I am planning on buying a 2nd 256 MB stick soon. Motherboard is a biostar MCVND Pro.

If you have modules plugged into both channels, it'll be running dual-channel to the extent that it can. It turns out that both memory controllers can access both channels, crossbar-style.
