I realize that they g skill ram is a dual channel kit but I would be getting 2 packs for cheap, and using 3 sticks (if possible) ...and please let me know if I can use the vengeance ram as well. Please help me out, I'll be making the purchase today!!

You spent all that money on a R3E...RAM...okay. While Dual Channel 'can' run on the X58/1366 it's not the better option.

The cheapest 'good' 3X2GB that I would recommend are the following:
Better for OC:
$130 CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) TR3X6G1600C8D http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224
Really strapped:
$99 CORSAIR Vengeance 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) CMZ6GX3M3A1600C8 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233145

The board cost me 200 ..brand new..so I don't think it's that bad..as for the memory Maybe the vengeance would work out well..I can get the vengeance for cheap as well..But, technically speaking, I can run dual channel
Memory on this board ? Like a p55/67 board?

And could I run that particular g skill ram on this board? Only asking because I can get it for 20 bnib

 

[jaquith]

The illustration shows Dual <OR> Tri Channel configurations; you cannot have both.

Those G.SKILL are made to run at Rated speeds on the P67/H67 the specs don't list the X58 as being supported. While I'm 9.9/10 certain they'll run at SPD {slower}, I don't know about Rated speed. Also, if you see my moto 'Do it Right...' -- that is screwing with the Right.

Where did you buy a NEW R3E for $200, new they're $380.

I got lucky..someone I know bought it and decided to use another board and sold it wayyy cheaper..so, I think perhaps I'll get the corsair vengeance ..thanks for your help !!

 

[jaquith]

Good Luck! For $200 I was going to buy one today!
