Triple Channel 6GB Memory Kits Ready

[Apoptosis]

Yesterday I spent some time with Intel Senior Performance Analyst Francois Piednoel going over the fine details of the Intel Core i7 Processor family (Nehalem) and found out that memory companies are ready to start launching triple channel memory kits. Intel has some Aeneon Xtune Memory kits on hand that consisted of three matched 2GB memory modules that are what you need to get the most performance out of upcoming Intel X58 Express powered motherboards. Intel platforms should see a big boost in memory bandwidth thanks to the memory controller being integrated and the fact that it is triple channel. Intel isn't letting use talk about performance numbers, but current platforms get about 8.5 to 8.9 Gbps of memory bandwidth with dual channel at 1800MHz... Triple channel memory will blow this number out of the water!

Did they happen to mention initial launch prices I've got a spare leg I'm not using.
