DX58SO and RAM question.
Hello,
I hope someone can help me with my dilemma :)
I have a DX58SO mobo with i7 CPU, this mobo supports triple channel and I want to use this feature. I currently have 2 x 2GB of DDR3 rams so I know I'm not using triple channel.
I have Windows 7 32-bit and don't want to go 64-bit, so my system is using ~3.2GB of RAM but on dual channel.
My question is: If I get a third 2GB RAM stick, will my system use the triple channel feature? I know it would still use 3.2GB, but will it use them via triple channel?
Another question: if I put 8GB and install the 64-bit version of windows7, will I experience a performance improvement in Games and 32-bit applications?
Thankyou kindly.
