Yes sortof. I've had no problems getting separate sticks from diff manufacturers to run dual channel but some people prefer matched pairs. Get 2 matched sticks at rated for DDR3200 cl2.5 or cl2 if possible.

Anyways do you know whether or not the X800XL is worth more the cash (performance-wise) then the 6800 GT/GS?

Quote of one of my previous replies:
The x800xl is very similar to the gt/gs. The x800gto is also in the same price range I think.
