would you get the triple channel performance with only 2 sticks of ddr3?

[Unicorn Jeff]

See I've been out of the computer building seen for a while so I really have no idea what your talking about LOL. But if it makes it run better, faster, and just plain badass then yes.

[flybye70ss]

i think for ddr3 you need 3 sticks of memory to take advantage of the triple channel. so you would need 1 more 4gb stick. not 100% though.

[Tx Redneck]

Current AMD chips do not support triple channel.

Are you gonna OC? Are you planning on getting a mech HDD for storage? WHat about your PSU and case and any fans?

First when do you plan on buying all this? Sandy Bridge just got released, and Bulldozer is said to run circles around 980x's.

As soon as possible
