Okay, so if I fill all four of the memory slots on my AMD board is that triple channel? Sorry about the dumb questions.

Maybe a dumb question but isn't DDR3 triple channel memory? That's what is going in the board. I based my AMD to Intel comparison a AnandTech article and benchmarks: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3639

Awesome! Thanks for the link. You should see how much I paid for the Patriot memory... Thankfully I can return it and maybe go with this Crucial memory instead. I'll rack this one up as a learning experience. Thanks again.

No. You nailed on the head. I messed up. Are 4x4GB sticks available? I didn't see any. Looks like it will be no problem returning the unnecessary memory through Newegg and can use the money towards something else.

Naaa... The AMD Quad Core Chip comes close to the i7 at half the price when bundled with a motherboard which is basically a freebie. I'd still like to exceed 16GB of RAM though. Maybe I should have built a server, but there has to be another way to pack more memory on a motherboard. I...

Probably a dumb question, but is there any card, gizmo or better motherboard I can purchase to bring my ram beyond the 16gb memory limit I see everywhere? i :frown: I am a programmer by trade and have Windows 7 (64bit), SQL Sever, Visual Studio 2005, a unit test of our application running...

So your saying even running Windows 7 in 64 bit the board will still limit me to 16gb and 2gb out of one of the 6gb sticks will likely fail to be recognized because of the board specs: Memory Support =========== Memory Technology: DDR3 Max System Memory: 16 MB...

I ordered the following memory, motherboard, cpu and psu as part of my first build. Are these components pretty close to being matched up? If not, where did I go wrong? 3 x MEM 2Gx3|PATRIOT PV236G2000LLKB 1 x MB ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 790GX/SB750 1 x PSU CORSAIR|CMPSU-750TX 750W 1...
