concerning Ram, what is dual channel and what is single channel?
P4 D - 2.66GHz
1024MB DDR2 RAM
ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard
Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra 256MB PCI-E
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
2x Western Digital Raptor 74GB

I suggest you start doing some research on these things. You're obviously in way over your head with this build. And you never answered my question about your specs...
"P4 D - 2.66GHz
1024MB DDR2 RAM
ASUS A8N-SLI Motherboard"Something is definitely wrong with the above. The A8N-SLI is a S939 board, so it doen't support a P4...it also doesn't support DDR2 RAM. So either you listed the wrong board, or the wrong CPU/RAM. Or maybe the specs are fictitious?
Easy explanation of single vs dual channel mode:
Single channel mode - 2 x 512MB PC3200 = 1GB PC3200
Dual channel mode - 2 x 512MB PC3200 = 1GB PC6400

whats the difference?

"whats the difference"
theoretically double the bandwidth, being as *dual* means a seperate path (two), to each memory controller (ie one can read while the other writes)

I can beat that...
"about 34,200 from computing.net for "name: jam""
And that only takes into account my registered name. Before registration was necessary, I posted under at least 2 other names...LMAO!

Just done the "search for name" thing. I found this old thread of mine http://www.computing.net/cpus/wwwboard/forum/10623.html and low and behold, Jam is still there, lol. The good old days!
