Default 3700+

after buying a clawhammer 3700+ off of newegg, i just kind of read through the CPU101 section again and saw that socket 754 doesnt support dual channel ram. i forget, is dual channel basically DDR or is it something else? because i dont want to end up wiith a good CPU and crappy ass ram. thanks

it two or more sticks of ram that can be accessed similtaneously. whereas this cant be done on single channel systems. admittidly i haven't noticed the performance difference when comparing different systems with single channel and dual channel
