    I am looking for a PC5300 ddr2 667 Ram that is dual channel. Does exist?? I see some ram DDr2 667 at newegg but none of them seem to be dual channel. The other thing is that i have been reading around and found that DDR2 PC4200 dual channel is faster then pc5300 ddr2 667 single channel. Am i right about this?? Any help on this would be great. I am getting a HP dv5000t with the new Intel Core Duo, and i want the optimum memroy. By the way i am going for 2 X 1 gig modules

    Dual channel has nothing to do with the memory; it's about the pc. Your laptop will support core duo no matter what type of memory you get along as its the same (i.e 2x1gb modules would be in dual channel instead of 512 x 1gbwhich wouldn't, 2x512 would be dual channel but 512 x 256 wouldn't).
