Hi, I have this motherboard (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6X58DE/), and it says it's got an X58 chipset. I'd eventually like to upgrade to the new haswell 8 core processors that are not out yet, which will apparently have an X99 chipset.
Now, I've just found some cheap-ish ram (£100 for 16gb, please inform me if the prices are likely to drop lower anytime soon), and I was personally under the impression the sticks should work with any motherboard, but on the website (http://www.kingston.com/en/hyperx/memory/fury), it says 'compatible with P55, H67, P67, Z68, Z77, Z87 and H61 Intel chipsets'.
Is this just what they've tested it on, or the only ones which will work? I am also aware I have triple channel memory and 2 8gb sticks won't run at the speed they're supposed to, but as I said, I'm wanting to eventually upgrade to a X99 motherboard, which will not be triple channel, and ideally I'll still be using this ram for that.
