If I switch to AMD?

If I were to swap out my motherboard for an AMD board, and put in a Phenom II X6 BE, would my current RAM kit work in it, or are triple channel kits different from dual channel kits other than the triple having an extra RAM chip? I would be inclined to do this only if all I had to purchase would be a new motherboard and the Phenom II X6. I dont want to replace my RAM, and graphics card. I also heard the Phenom II X6 is a killer overclocker since it is multiplier unlocked.

Check the ram under tested for this wicked mobo I looked and it appears Kingston is listed but if these are your sticks you'll need to check!

Just use 2 sticks and you'll still get dual channel. If you want to install the 3rd stick, it will run 2 sticks in dual channel and 1 stick in single channel mode.

And BTW, not to sound like a d#ck or anything but, why would you want to move from a Core-i7 920 to a AMD Phenom II X6 XXXXT CPU?

Even a Phenom II X6 OC'ed to ~3.9GHz, would still have trouble catching up to a Core i7 920 @ stock speeds (that's how strong the Core i7 architecture really is).

Really? The spec listings for the CPUs, and stuff that I've been reading made it sound like the processors were very similar in that area.

you bet your intel loving butt it does

carry on
