Dual Channel

[Gallstafff01]

I have 12 gigs of RAM, 3x 4gb sticks.

Would i need to take the 3rd out for the 1st 2 to be Dual Channel? and would that mean better performance?

No, should still be dual channel, just not once you got past the first 8 GB. Honestly, you will have a hard time filling 8 GB right now, I don't think you need the extra stick.
