PC 2100 RAM is DDR.
Dual channel means, basically, that the motherboard can read from two memory banks at the same time to increase performance, it has nothing to do with the memory modules themselves. If you turn on dual channel and you have 2x 512MB sticks you will have 512MB of system memory that is theoretically twice as fast as the speed you have it running. If you have 2x 512MB sticks and run single channel you will have 1 GB of system RAM that runs at speed.
I haven't looked at the rest of what you posted but I wanted to clear up that confusion right now.
