Will be putting togeather a I7 setup as soon as cpu and mobo arrive this week.Question I do not have another 6gb set for this one, I have a 4 gb set. How will this effect the running of VM and big wu's??
I'm thinking that your VM will be have some serious swap space usage, since a system running bigadv's and not much else looks to be taking 3.6gb+ of RAM, that in native Linux. You might want to just run regular SMP units until you can get more RAM.

I've been buying the 3x2gb sets of RAM, but I don't know if it would make any difference to just add a 2gb stick to a 2x2gb set. However, DDR3 is pretty pricey, a single 2gb stick's still going to be at least $45 on Newegg.
