    Quick? RE: Using my Current Memory in triple channel

    I currently have 4x1gig ddr3 2000 in my current rig on nv790i mobo. Can I take 3 of these sticks and run them on an x58 motherboard in triple channel mode so long as the specs of the 3 sticks are exactly the same? I don't have to go and buy 3 sticks of "triple channel memory" do I? Thanks
