Question about dual ddr

I know that for the athlon 64 dual ddr = 2x mem bandwidth and significant increase in performance. AMD uses 128 bit wide path to memory. Is it same for intel? I am running a C2D with 1 gig of ddr2 800mhz. WIll adding another stick double the memory bandwidth like it does for AMD? I think intel uses 64 bit path to memory so it won't make much difference. ANybody know?

Hi... and welcome.

What motherboard do you have? Although I believe most support dual channel, I think there are still a handful of boards out there that are single channel (even with two sticks of memory installed).

Most intel boards nowadays should run in dual channel, expecially if it's a C2D board.
