Of course there are more expensive ones. A decent Pentium 4 775
motherboard is at least $110.
And the cheapest AMD with dual channel costs $315 www.pricewatch.com !
AFAIK, all Socket 939 motherboards are dual channel. Anyway, see ebuyer
Quickfind code 64800.
All new Pentium 4 have dual channel.
Suggesting that dual channel is an advantage of P4-based systems is similar
to suggesting that the higher CPU clockspeed is an advantage. In both cases,
a direct comparison is meaningless due to architectural differences.
