What's your upgrade plan?

I did 3800x2 to what I have in my sig now. It was a 5 year upgrade pretty much.

1. Should you only use 3 sticks?
2. If you use 6 sticks, do they all have to be the same?
3. What difference in performance is using 3 sticks (12gb total) compared to using 6 sticks (12gb total)?

3 sticks will give u better OCing then 6 sticks.

all 6 sticks should be the same.

Ummm i didnt notice anything, but i dont do things which would require large amounts of ram. My hard drive page file is set to 0... seems a little faster... but it could be my eye and wallet playing around with my brain..

(meaning i spent a lot for 12gbs of ram, so my mind is forcing me to think its faster when its not.)

I plan on keeping my X3210 which is at 3.8ghz as long as I can. I don't have any real set plans.

I've been really impressed with my quad though. My 2 year old computer feels just as fast as any brand new computer sold today (faster when comparing my overclock to stock settings of an i7.)
