My Mobo is a P5N-E (Asus). I got it with 2 GB of RAM and I'm running a 64-bit Windows 7 OS. I want to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM. Currently, there are 2x1GB sticks and I'd like to add two more. I believe my computer was set up such that the sticks are running in dual channel. I really don't quite understand what that means. If I add two more sticks, does this mean I have quad channel? Are such settings automatic? Any advice as to which memory sticks I should buy? I haven't pulled my computer apart to see what I have, but according to CPU-Z, it's CM2X1024-PC6400. I understand that I need to add the exact same two memory sticks, so is this information sufficient?

Ahh, ok the information from CPU-Z is showing that you have Corsair memory, a solid choice.
Your motherboard has the required four DIMM slots for your desired amount of memory, so you could easily pick any number of memory that is of the DDR2 (PC2-6400) variety and you shouldn't have issues. Asus usually has a wide variety of compatibility and given that you are already running corsair memory, something like:
