Not bad at all Jimmy boy.

geowal19 · 24 May 2010 at 22:03

Was it stolen, was the guy you bought it from called Dave? Does it work!?

Stupot_ · 24 May 2010 at 22:04

you might want to get some tri channel memory...

Infam0us · 24 May 2010 at 22:09

Got ripped off lad ...

JonJ678 · 24 May 2010 at 22:15

If new, with a usable warranty, then thats good. If second hand, I wouldn't have bought from anyone who matched dual channel ram with a triple channel board.

The graphics card's crap.

Motherboard costs 250 quid new, processor about 180. So you've basically got the rest of the components for free. Good if you wanted them.

hlennie · 24 May 2010 at 22:23

all brand new with warranty only wanted it for the motherboard, will flog the rest on the bay lol

will13 · 24 May 2010 at 23:38

'Wes · 27 May 2010 at 13:11

unknownsock · 27 May 2010 at 13:14

To be fair you can make some right money on the bay.

I was under the impression that dual channel ddr3 works just fine in an x58 board?

ETNiES · 28 May 2010 at 02:53

Thought so too

which in everything but benchmarks keeps up with triple channel.

sure u should know its basicly a marketing gimmick until anything real world needs it.

you should also know i7 boards can run in dual channel

Firstly thanks for confirming that i7 systems can run as dual channel, but secondly the increase from 8gb to 12gb without using financially devastating 4gb sticks isn't a gimmick. The increased bandwidth may well be irrelevant, but an extra 4gb available isn't.
