Dual channel is a function of the motherboard, not the RAM. Your 3500+ CPU runs at 200MHz bus speed & so should your RAM. If your CPU is the socket 939 type, you should be using 2 sticks of PC3200 configured in dual channel mode...if it's a socket 754 CPU, you should still be using PC3200, but dual channel mode is not supported

It may be a limitation of the chipset. Check your manual or go to the manufacturer's website to see if there's an explanation about any RAM limit.
