Dual channel at 400Mhz and single channel at 800mhz... Single channel at twice
the speed would be pretty close to equal. Now if you did dual channel at
800mhz you might see a difference.
Try a test with 2 sticks so you can get back to dual channel, put the memory
back up to its SPD detected speed and test that.

shows the tested memory with that board.
