Can I reach the full potential of an MSI motherboard (at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813130161 with FSB 2600MHz Hyper Transport and Memory Standard DDR2 1066) with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor processor or do you have to go with a Phenom Quad-core? I cannot find any specific data info on this at either Newegg or MSI.

And it seems I've heard that it's necessary to fill all the memory slots also to take advantage of this. Correct? Or can you do 2GB (2 x 1GB) in 2 slots and leave 2 empty?

Thanks!
