Then you gotta get another stick of ECC RAM. Can't mix ECC and non-ECC RAM together.

I'm running an ASRock P4V88 with an Intel P4 2.4aGHz/533MB/1MB L2.
And of course, the 512MB of RAM that I mentioned earlier.

Dual Channel DDR does make a difference when used on P4 systems, not so much with AMD systems.

Honestly, I think it depends on what you do with the computer and the type of software application you're using. I don't think you can "see" a difference between single channel and dual channel performance in everyday use, but it does show up in benchmarks.
