no problem 
btw how bout u google the benefit of dual channel for me?
i always feels tht dual channel is not important for laptop, as the limitations of chipset and processor eg 400mhz, 533mhz, 667mhz, plus 2 stick ram = more power consumption if there's a choice giving 1.5gb ddr2 533 single channel vs 1gb ddr2 667 dual channel, i'll rather go for higher ram capacity
unless i'm on a desktop, dual channel will give more significant result, as the proc is 800mhz or higher, with additional OC, we'll only make use of dual channel
maybe i'm wrong, but thts my analysis so far

So, with Dual Channel the memory speed doubles as you can check on the table below.
