Dual core settings

I recently had a new motherboard & a dual core processor installed. I also went from 512MG Ram to 1 GB. I can't see any improvement in speed when doing things like rendering video ETC.

As I boot up I notice that one of the things that goes flashing by are the words 'memory runs at single channel'. I'm not certain exactly just what this means but I was under the impression that my motherboard was a dual channel. So it occurred to me that there may have been things in BIOS or elsewhere that wasn't altered but should have been to alter. Could this be the case?

Thanks in advance
