Dual Channel memory causes AV sync issues

[KuroNeko]

SIS, well-known for its excellent Athlon chipsets here, has released its latest chipset, the 748. The first mainboard is from Asrock, the budget division of Asus (no-frills, stable, cheap).

There is a review at www.ocworkbench.com

From this review, and I think they lifted this from the SIS website somewhere, following statement:

SiS 748 as we know is the latest K7 chipset from SiS which supports the latest 200Mhz FSB processors or 400Mhz processors e.g. Barton AXP3200+. Featuring the hyperstreaming technolgy, it allows this single channel DDR400 solution as fast as current DDR400 K7 solutions available on the market today.

This new technology avoids many of the out-of-sync audio, jittery images, low frame rates and possible packet transfer errors. With this new technology, it makes single channel as good as a dual channel design. You can read more about the technology at this SiS website

This seems to suggest that dual channel memory solutions have AV sync issues.

Can anyone report on this? I'm sure that some of you are using the Asus nForce2 solutions for NLE. Any issues (apart from the known IDE bugs )?

A crock if ever I heard one.

I think you mis-interpret it; the way I read it, it suggests that this new chipset has the same advantages as dual channel ram (no AV sync problems etc) whereas other single-channel RAM technologies are supposed to suffer from these problems. Not that I can confirm that... The only problematic chipset I've encountered so far was something with VIA printed on it.
