incidentally even the triple channel machines do not need to be in 3's if you install 4 sticks for example it maps the 3 as triple channel and the other stick as single channel

LED back-light still equals a massive reduction in thickness, and power consumption and a big increase in image quality. My LED backlit screen is brighter on the lowest setting than my friends cathode based screen is at its highest. And no, DDR3 Can come in pretty much any configuration DDR2 can with the added benefit in laptops that it seems to allow more machines to use more than 4GB RAM (i.e. maximum stick size is 4GB in most machines now rather than 2GB). Though this is more than likely due to the newer motherboards used in these laptops rather than anything else.
