Okay..I found the following relevant stuff in the  Motherboard Manual.

Chipset:  VIA P4M266E Chipset.  (Supports Intel Pentium 4 Processor)

System Memory:

  - A total of two 184-pin DDR SDRAM Sockets.
  - Support up to 2GB DRAMs (512Mb x8/x16 DRAM Technology) for register
  and unbuffered DDR SDRAM Module.
  - Support DDR SDRAM memory types.
  - 2.5V DRAM Interface for DDR SDRAM.


Well..it does not say anything about Dual Channel Implementation at all. :(
