N00b i7 Memory Question

[cjp2k]

I am looking to build a new PC (my last build was a p4 some 7+ years ago)

With the price drop of the i7 950 I am looking at possibly going down this route.

I dont think I need a 6gb Ram for this machine, 4gb would be enough, do I need to go for 3 sticks of memory for the 1366 socket motherboards or could i get 2x2gb sticks,

Thanks for your help

cheers

Chris
