Does ddr3 memory need to be installed in threes for full benefit? Or is it still only dual channel as is ddr2? (hope that's not a stupid question).Reason I ask is most AM3/ddr3 boards seem to have the usual 2x dual channel slots & are quoted as dual channel (Tho I'm sure I've seen a board with 3 same colour slots (& an extra 4th one) specifically for 3x ddr3 stick)
Don't want to (eventually) buy a dual channel board if it will hold back ddr3 memory...or are these boards still capable of triple channel?
OK now I'm confused even more...just had a look at ddr3 ram for sale..some are dual channel & some triple?? (or is this just reference to the way they are sold..ie in pairs or threes)
TIA..Andy.
