P4P800 Deluxe memory linear-mode

[K7V]

I have two sticks of matched DDR DIMM in the recommended sockets and
when my board boots it says the memory is 'Dual Channel, linear-mode'.

My question is: what is linear-mode? Are there other modes for dual
channel?

See the Intel memory guide. It is the best reference available
that I know of.
