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.

There was no confusion. I'm a techie. I build computers for a living, and have plenty of experience doing so. I know all about DDR, DDR2, and old SDRAM, as well as single- versus dual-channel. The only thing I was even remotely reluctant on was whether my RAM chips would work in the new motherboard, seeing as they are single-channel and the DIMMs are dual-channel. But as I said, I'm 99% certain they will. Call it a personal lack of confidence in my ownabilities at times. ;)
