Dual channel ddr essentially treats two sticks of ddr as one with double the bandwith. So to use dual channel ddr on a motherboard you must install matching types of memory in pairs.

Hope that was simple enough. It is not the memory that is dual channel, it is the motherboard.

That's why there's a FAQ button at the top of the page. It will teach you what dual channel is. :confused:
