I have recently ordered a system from a local reatiler,and pick it up soon.

Their package system originaly had an amd 64 3500 chip. (socket939)
And the asus A8N-E motherboard, with 1024MB (2x512) PC-3200 DDR400 RAM (dual channel).

So I asked them to substitute the 3500 for a 3700 (since it has the 1 meg L2 cache).
They said no problem, and will only cost a little more.

I showed a friend of mine, (who recnetly bought a new system himself), the list of equipment I was getting, and he said the reason he didn't get the 3700, is it didn't support dual channel memory configurations.

One of the reasons I ordered the system, is to have the dual channel memory configuration.

I did a little research.
The 3700 socket 754 was only single channel.

I thought all 939's supported dual channel memory.

Is the 3700 socket 939 only single channel, or will it suuport dual channel configuration?

Thanks
