Triple channel DDR3 in i5 set up

[G-Dubs]

Can triple channel DDR3 be used in a i5 setup, which I understand is dual channel?

Cheers Huddy, Do you mean it will disable triple channel, and that it will only work in dual channel mode?

So if I put 2x2 of the triple channel sticks into an i5 set up it will show as 4gb dual channel?

yes it should do but why buy a triple channel kit if your not going to use all 3 sticks? you could have just bought a dual channel kit in the first place.

I have been given some triple channel for a build and want to keep costs down so was planning to go i5 rather than i7
