Tittle pretty much says it all, Thinking of buying this mother board for a new build, and I've got some money left over, I'll be doing some rendering and thought 12gb would be more use full than 8 but don' have the money to fill up all 4 slots. The pack ( in case the title is confusing) Is a Mushkin Stealth 12GB pack with 3 Stick, and it states tripple channel, Motherboard states dual channel, will i be able to use all 12 GB in windows 7 Ultimate x64 with this mobo and my 8150 ( please don't tell me to switch to intel, heard enough of that already)

Triple channel is normally for Intel.

Should always stick to pairs with AMD motherboards to get best performance.

Yes Windows x64 will see the 12GB, but performance will suffer.

Unless your a hardcore gaming nutter ;) , who likes to overclock, go for 4x4GB kits of normal 1600 ram.
