The X 58 chipset supports 3 channel memory so buy sets of 3 modules. The memory controller is on the CPU so speed can vary with that.
45nm Nehalems will run at 1066-800 speeds and may slow down with more than 3 modules. Faster 32nm Xeons will run at 1333 speed, i7 at 1066. But check each CPU data sheet, and BIOS updates may improve things also. 48GB capacity is reported to work.
