Physically nothing, the RAM chips are the same, and still follow JEDEC
standards, nothing seperates 'Dual Channel' Kits from 2 individual
sticks except that the manufacturer has made sure that they are the same
speed/timings and will work in a dual channel configuration together,
they then slap it in a box and charge a premium (I bought mine this way,
simply becuase of all the problems other P4C800 and P4C800-E users were
having with generic ram.
Now, for more information on DDR/Dual Channel/FSB and how they all
relate, here is a nice informative link:

It should help you with some of your questions.
