    How does it actually work?

    I've read in places that the speed increase is the result of being able to read from one dimm while simulatneously writing to the other, but more recently I read that it's similar to RAID 0 for hard drives with "striping."

    Who here has the answer?

    Here is a good one too.

    Beyond that do a Google search.
