I am looking to buy the GA-X58A-UD5, but I do not see any posts about using 24GB of RAM in Triple-Channel mode. I intend to use this setup for image processing, with an i7-920 cpu, OC'd if I have to ...
Any advice out there? Any success? and with what sticks? Based on advice from others, I was considering the G.SKILL Ripjaws 4GB sticks, 3 x F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (2 x 4GB), but G.Skill does not have the mobo listed on their configurator yet, and Gigabyte has only Kingston 24GB [6 x KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX] listed on their memory compatibility matrix as of now. Which is about $600 more expensive than the Ripjaws - ouch ouch.
Me confused. Me need info. I am pulling the trigger in about 2 weeks.
