How many motherboards support triple channel?

Many? Why ?

Most if not all socket 1366 mobos support triple channel.

Those with a X58 chipset & SKT 1366.

After my P6T Deluxe went bang, I sold the cpu, & went over to socket 1155 & a 2500K.

I'm getting the Intel i7-2600K and I'm interested in triple channel memory (either 8 or 12GB) but I haven't been able to find a Socket 1155 Motherboard that supports triple channel.

The i7-2600K is based on the sandy bridge platform which does not support triple channel.

There isn't much difference between double/triple channel in terms of performance. Just get two sticks of RAM and you'll be fine.

Oh, thanks for the info.

Look at Z68 boards, & either of these would be ideal.
