Default dual channel DDR really better?

Planning to buy a new motherboard with 856 chips supporting FSB800
probably Asus P4P800 (non-Deluxe) version
is it wise to buy use Dual Channel RAM? or in other words, how big is the
performance difference compared with the price difference?

You REALLY need to use the dual channels of ram provided with these
chipsets. With a P4 there is a MAJOR performance increase. Whether or not
"dual channel ram" is required rather that just 2 sticks of matching ram is
something I can't really coment on for that specific board.
