Say DDR is version 1 , and DDR2 is go faster version 2.

The better option would be those that match your existing memory, the
type that your motherboard can use.

im getting the intel retail employee deal. 820d + mobo + xppro for
$215.

the board only accepts DDR2, haven't checked if its possible for Dual
Channel.


I don't need to know the differnece between DDR and DDR2, im wondering
about Dual Channel, and if its available for DDR2.


thank you

Well you would know the mobo type and chipset,you didn't mention it,
it's important. There is more chance it's dual channel if you have to
install RAM in matched pairs.

Not knowing the mobo / chipset doesn't help as there is DDR2 Dual
Channel , a lot of it in fact. Various types listed
http://www.directron.com/dual2kit.html

The dual channel feature is built into a lot of motherboards.

Also try
http://www.crucial.com/
http://www.kingston.com/

They have memory selector guides and Crucial has a utility that may be
able to scan the system and tell you what's available.

Ah , that wasn't clear.
