Will 2 channels on HBA be seen by SE3310 as 2 hosts.

Hi Guru's
              I have a new SE3310 to be configured. I have two questions
1) I am not sure whether I understand the purpose of Dual-bus configuration. According to figures I see I guess there would be performance gain because of two physical paths to disks.
 
2)I have a HBA with two channels on it. Can I configure SE3310 in dual-bus with two hosts configuration and connect to two different channels on a single HBA of one system. Will there be any advantages to this? Again I guess two different physical paths to array from system.
 
Forgive my ignorance if I sound stupid. Also if my HBA is Ultra 320 then I need to setup width of Host channels to wide. By default it took narrow as shown in below figure.
