i understand memory bandwidth...

(my pc - 512 MB value)
pc3200 would be maximum 3200 MB/s or 3.2 GB/s
sisandra reports maximum bus bandwidth to be 3200 MB/s
i overclocked my memory to 436mhz from the stock 400
sisandra reports maximum bus bandwidth to be 3488 MB/s

(Bros pc - 2x 512 MB dual channel value)
sisandra reports maximum bus bandwidth to be 3216 MB/s

(friends pc - 2x 512 MB dual channel corsair xms)
sisandra reports maximum bus bandwidth to be 6400 MB/s

my question is this:

wouldnt the bandwidth be the same on value or great ram?
because it is pc3200 ram...

i dont understand why it says 6400 MB/s
that would be like pc6400 or around...

plz help me to understand why these are so different...
does dual channel increase maximum memory bandwidth?
