Currently got 3 sticks of:

Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit D
(CMG6GX3M3A2000C8)

Installed on a:

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 mobo.

Thinking I could upgrade the ram a bit - 6gb is not looking like that much these days, but I'm looking on overclockers website and not sure what would work with the sytem, or how much ram the system would benefit from??

Cpu is a Intel Core i7 975 3.33Ghz (Nehalem) Extreme Edition (Socket LGA1366)

System not overclocked. I've played about with overclocking it but never have much success, so just looking to increase the speed of the system running at stock (or maybe a wee bit faster).
 
Ideally stick with triple channel, what do you use your system for?

6-8gb is plenty for majority of users.
 
I use pc for work and play, so lots of email and docs but also video rendering and gaming (latest games). Just bought a ftx680 for it as gtx 295 was showing its age.
