I just want to know if it's worth waiting for the sandy bridge until lt comes up with triple channel memory? If not then I'm left with a choice. Sandy bridge with dual-channel memory or the i7-950 with its triple-channel memory boards.

I'm not even sure if it makes a difference. I've googled a lot about dual and triple channel memory boards and I'm more confused then ever. Some say that the extra bandwidth helps a lot, others say that tests have shown that it make close to no difference. :confused:

I'm pretty much done selecting the parts of this new PC I'm building and this is the only thing I'm still unsure of. Any opinions please share.
