My complete system is now:
M/B: Asus M2N4-SLI nForce4 MCP
RAM: 2x Corsair PC2-4200 400MHz 2GB
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 3.0 GHz 2x1MB L2 Cache
GPU: eVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GTX+ Factory OC'd 1024MB DDR3 RAM edition
Audio: Soundblaster Audigy Platinum 7.1
LAN: Intel Pro 100/1000 S Ethernet
And offcourse, some crappy stuff like PSU, DVD-burner and harddisks.
New System rating, went up from 4.9 (CPU-bottleneck) to 5.2 (HDD bottleneck)
CPU is now 6.1
p.s.
That CPU came with a fairly very nice heatpipe cooler! (And LARGE for a stock CPU cooler I'm used to)

Corsair or Kingston! Can't go wrong with those!
But since I don't have DDR3 capable m/b... I don't have a clue
And please stop shouting? It's hurting my eyes!

Does anyone know anything about the triple channel kits that are now on the market? If your board doesn't support triple channel, will it default to dual channel, or perhaps only single channel?!?
I haven't been able to find much on this.

If I may revert to my board, here's how the dual-channel will work, with three RAM strips:
Slot A1: Channel 1
Slot B1: Channel 2
Slot A2: Channel 1
Slot B2: Channel 2
That's what my Asus does anyway. It doesn't matter if all slots are taken, as long as you follow the guidelines to dual-channel set-up (thus the A1 and A2 numbered slots filled), it should work.
But I'd advice to go for a triple-channel board if you want the full capabilities when you have 3 strips.
On dualchannel, it's better to go for 4 strips then three, because it'll even out the systems.
I'm thinking, get a dual-channel. The strips support it anyway, the next upgrade you'll make, the new board will probably support upto quad-channel...

Second, see that blue bar under my avatar?
It says "Global Moderator"
That's how I can do that
For once, I actually abused my power, to make the joke. Sorry. I really haven't touched your post at all.
And, btw, what's funny...
If I don't give a reason for editing, you wouldn't get notice it
