dual channel is usually in pairs, so it's going to be 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. triple channel is 3, 6, 12, etc.

games don't really fully utilize triple channel yet since it's fairly new.

some basic and possibly outdated details on dual vs triple channel: G.Skill DDR3 PC3-16000 Triple Channel memory review

as far as going with a 560 2gb and a 560ti 448 go, i don't think the extra memory is as important as the bumped up clocked speed on the 448. the 448 is essentially a neutered 570. if anyone disagrees, feel free to correct me.
