Hi.
Interleaved memory on a 780 (or 785) will give you a little
better "overall" access time.  The operating system does
not need to know whether or not the memory is interleaved.
The start-up command files on the console floppy will have to
adjust the memory controllers (those for booting the system,
which include the XXXBOO.CMD and those for comming up after
powerfailures ...).

I know of no real performance studies nor any reason not
to run interleaved if you have the right number or type
of memory controllers.
