The G5 iMac does indeed support dual-channel (128 bit) memory, it's just not mandantory. Most G5 iMacs just use a single stick (64 bit). I think barefeats or xlr8yourmac did some benchmarks and found that dual-channel is significantly faster during real-world usage.

BTW, Apple has do-it-yourself information for their consumer models here:
http://www.apple.com/support/diy/orderonline/
And information on the Tower G5 (and G4, and G3...) here:
http://www.apple.com/support/powermac/
There's also some much more detailed information in the Developer section of the site:
http://developer.apple.com/documentatio ... -date.html
I personally like the Developer section the best, they have the most technical detail there. But there are many more places to go, like http://www.macsurfer.com for more information.
