about to order the q9550

It can be more. But the new mobos would be support triple channel RAM. (6 slots)

are they really making triple channel? that sounds awesome. i wouldn't run 6 sticks though thats a waste of electricity. although DDR3 will use less electricity anyways so maybe not.

I wouldn't say it would be under the $1000 limit but it should be between that and $1500, but we'll have to wait and see if the DDR3's are gonna drop in price.
