I know Kingston says this, and actually sells their RAM in two Dimm kits,
to support dual channel. In fact they won't guarantee dual channel if you
buy the Dimms separately. But I have actually bought four 512MB Kingston
DDR 333 DIMMS, on four different occasions,over a eight month period, from
both OfficeMax, and Circuit City.  And both channels on the PC work dual
channel. I suspect this has more to do with the motherboard then with the
RAM. My guess is that higher end boards will handle different RAM better
then cheap ones.

Kingstone is the only manufacturer, that I am aware of, to sell them it
kits. Crucial doesn't do this.
