I stand corrected. I was unaware of this until now. But I did check newegg, and they do infact have the Intel Extreme Series BOXDX58SO LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard which only has 4 memory slots.

Yes X58 boards 6 slot or 4 slot will run both dual and triple channel configurations

Ahhh ...

That's going to be gorgeous. A place where SLI might fit the bill. I rebuke my previous comments. You sir, are going to have alot of fun with the proposed build. ;)

I just wish I could build it for him. :laugh:

What really has me excited for him is hes going from a pentium D with a hdd with the OS installed to an i7 with an SSD. Its going to be so fast his balls will fall off.
