As another poster noted, the nForce 2 chipset supports dual channel RAM. This is
one of the better chipsets for Athlons. Asus A7N8X is one motherboard using this
chipset - there are others.

However, you shouldn't expect a really dramatic improvement vs. single channel.
Ditto 333 vs. 400. But it really doesn't cost much (if any more) to run dual
channel 400 RAM, so you might as well.
