Hi. Updating my system, and have some question about ram for it. Upgraded to an i7-920 on MSI x58 Pro-e motherboard and running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (received it for free otherwise would've gone x64.) I haven't bought my new ram for the system yet and I'm having a tough time deciding. I know the processor and board are designed for the triple channel DDR3, but I'm wondering if it would be better to just go with dual channel because of the limitations with 32bit windows.
So my question is, should I opt for 4gb (2x2gb) DDR3 or go with 3gb (3x1gb) DDR3? Would there be a significant advantage of one over the other? Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated.
