does WordPress admin setting of www.site.com or site.com pass juice to the other?

So in your WP admin under general settings for your wordpress address and site address you can put in http://www.site.com or http://site.com. Let's say you choose www.site.com. Now do all the links linking to site.com pass the juice to www.site.com? Or is this admin feature more for bookmarks, etc and doesn't care about link juice?

I ask because I've had it set to www.site.com but about 40% of my incoming links are pointing to site.com. So should I set something up like a 301 to pass that juice or is it taken care of by the admin setting?

Side note: all my keyword rankings on goog show up as site.com (without www) in the results but any subpage that ranks for something is www.site.com/sub-page (with www). Kinda strange.

here is my .htaccess:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks!
