Hello,
A friend of mine moved in with me for a few months, and we decided to bring my old PC out of retirement so that she can use it.
The hardware is in good condition, except that there is no RAM.
The motherboard is an "asus rampage III gene", and the processor is a core i7 930 bloomfield processor @ 2.8 ghz.
there is no overclocking done, except for an aftermarket gtx 480 graphics card.
What I am confused about, is that when I looked up the motherboard specs, it says that the motherboard supports triple channel memory. I have read that the i7 series also supports triple channel memory.
Could you guys kindly explain to me what the difference is, between dual and triple channel memory, and which type of RAM kits are better for this current setup.
Also, we are looking for at least 8 gb of RAM(and at most 16gb), so I would appreciate suggestions on specific RAM kits/products.
Thank you
p.s. the motherboard support maximum of 24gb RAM. is it worth it?
