If I'm going to use Windows 7 with this new build, would it be better to use 4GB of DDR3 in dual channel, or 6GB not in dual channel? I have 3x2GB sticks. Not sure if I should only use two or use all three.

Buy a matching 2GB stick and have dual channel 8GB!

Pete1burn · Apr 22, 2009, 07:52 PM

Problem is I can't find just single 2GB sticks for this RAM. I can only find 2x2 kits.

Assassin48 · Apr 22, 2009, 09:38 PM

Added everyone and some Rules

Estimated Price?

erocker · Apr 22, 2009, 10:51 PM

I'm quite sure we'll see an AM3 version for the desktop market and a guess at $300 bucks at it's cheapest.
