Found this useful guide to Dual Channel - http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Memory/Dual-Channel/
taken from there..........

Another factor to consider is the type and quality of memory modules you get. It is highly recommended that you buy two of the same modules, and even better, at the same time. Manufacturers over time can switch what chips are in the memory. Make sure the RAM are the same speed and memory latency. You donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t want to buy a high speed or low latency memory only to have it washed out by the other stick, which isnââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t as fast or possesses a higher latency. When running in dual channel each stick must perform exactly the same, so they must have the same speed and same latency.
So it would be preferable to go for the 'twinned' memories
