Nehalem 101 part1 - 1366 and X58

[Amurtigress]

Hi there,

I am currently using a ASUS P5Q3 Del. board with 4 pcs. of Corsair DDR3-1600 CL9 RAM.

Hence my question for my upgrade to a nehalem system:

1) What memory modes except for triple channel are supported? Single channel? Dual? I am considering to run my system temporarily with 4x1 GB in dual channel mode if possible, and if that doesn't mean too much of a performance impact.

2) I read a bit on the memory controller/Memory module voltage not being separate yet and Intel recommending app. 1.65V for the RAM subsystem. My Corsairs are rated for 1.8V tho....any recommendations? I don't want to ditch my RAMs.

I'll see how the prices are developing around XMas...and then decide if I am changing or now. My Q9550 at 3.91 GHz is pretty neat so far.
