How much of a performance difference would dual channel make to my games as I currently run my computer on single

While I agree, I have to point out that the data you linked to is for an Intel C2D cpu, not an AMD X2.

I dug up that example because I wanted to make sure it holds true with DDR2. I know from personal experience dual-channel makes very little difference using DDR on an AMD x2. But I take your point, ideally we would look at a real-world performance comparison using DDR2 on an AMD x2, just in case that one CPU/RAM combination performs differently from all the rest. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find one.

The broader point is that the Athlon 64 family have integrated memory controllers, and the Core 2 family do not. So there can be significant differences in memory performance in some cases.
