Gigabyte UD6, 6 DDR3 channels with i7 860?

[TailsNZ]

I see the review of the new Intel CPU's mentioned the Gigabyte UD6 motherboard ( Product Page Here ) with 6 RAM sockets.

Originally I was looking at getting the i7 920 with 12gb of RAM, but now if it'll work, I'll switch to the i7 860. Do you know if it'll matter that the CPU only has 2 RAM channels instead of 3?

Thanks!

6 DIMMs of dual channel DDR3 memory for remarkable memory performance

It is still dual channel but you get six slots.

i have a question.please

i got the i7-860 and UD6 motherboard lately (assemble PC)
but i bought 3X (kingston DDR3 2Gb.2000Mhz)
and the sale dude told me i have to put either 4GB or 8GB RAM he said because of the dual channel (im totaly new to the RAM dual channeling)

do i need to but 4GB(remove one RAM) or 8GB (buy another new RAM) or but all three of them??

The last two slots only accept single-sided modules so 12 (or 10) GB is pretty much not happening on that board, or any P55 board that I know of.

i tried to put the 3x2GB 2000 Mhz kingston ram on the Gigabyte-UD6 (support up to 16GB and 2333Mhz) in the first three slots
there was nothing visible in the screen and the error sound run without stopping until the computer restart
i tried to change the slot to (1,2,4) the computer start and it tells me that the computer recovered from failure.
any idea why is this happening
