I didn't, the two are dual-channel. The one is in there by itself. I had the impression I could do triple channel but couldn't. In the end, I've still got 6gb so whatever. I've been very pleased with this build so far. Seems like there is next to nothing I can't do with it.
I've been quite satisfied with my build. It's everything but a hotrod. I'm sure you'll enjoy the CPU, it's quite fast and makes multi-tasking a breeze compared to my previous single core. I'm sure you'll have fun building your computer, it's a satisfying feeling when it's finally put together, knowing you picked out the components yourself for performance. And when it works! Good luck & have fun.
A sapphire radeon HD 4850 1GB. I created a video demonstrating a test run through the Crysis demo using it with the rest of this build. Can check it out if ya want. I've never had a graphics card before, but I am impressed for the price. ($120) does about everything, and is crossfire capable, came with a bridge.
I have the same case motherboard cpu and os on mine :D Just built today!
I would have used G.Skill but couldn't afford it at the time I have corsair 1333 ram

It was only about 5 bucks and for its size, it seems to move a good deal of air. The vent its attached to is cool to the touch.
