    Will Amd's new AM3 set up use a similar tri channel idea or stick to duel channel.

    There doesn't seem to be much evidence that Intel's tri channel gimmick does anything.

    no AMD have announced they are staying with dual channel. I seem to recall, from one of the hexus TV shows, AMD actually saying it doesnt make any difference.
    If AMDs new product in jan/feb is good enough then i can see intel being forced to pull the cheaper mainstream i7 parts into the market much faster which will give us a clear cut answer to the question.

    After seeing that review i have to say im quite impressed. I think if i do go i7 then this is the kit i will go for as itl save me quite a bit on the ram side of things.

    try the section of the forum which is specific for hardware help, those guys are pretty damn knowledgeable so you will be in good hands

    I will say though, dell motherboards are not built for overclocking so offer very little, if any, room for overclocking. The parts inside the PC may be overclock-able but you wont have the facilities available to do it.

    On the review sample that we had, Dell locks out the BIOS such that you can't overclock any meaningful parameter.

    Let me know if yours is any different.
