If the CPU is idling because it waits for stuff from memory, you essentially lose processing power, which is why triple channel (or whatever is the fastest possible way of using memory) is a good idea.

Re: Worth replacing 2008 Mac Pro for upgraded 2010 Mac Pro?
Meh. I think it is entirely dependant on what you are trying to do, and what you actually have in your system. 64gig seems to be the magic number for me. Reducing the ram to 6x8gig sticks (48gig) does mean 2000+ additional points in a geekbench score but Pro Tools and OSX runs noticeably worse. I reckon the priority should be first and foremost having enough ram to do what you need to do, and that should include the ability to load a whole lot of stuff into the disk cache in Pro Tools, plus whatever VIs if you are still pulling data from USB2, SATA II HDDs or Firewire.
Give it a spin running it both ways and see how it pans out.

Think I will eventually try the triple channel route and see what is up. Ive read it so many times I'm super curious.

64 the magic number in triple channels seems to be the general consensus. In my case I'm running dual channel with 4x16gig sticks, but not triple. Should I stay there, or get two more sticks 2x16gig, which would make it 48 on each tray, and a total of 96 ?

It's hard to say, really. I'm not sure I really even use my Mac Pro in it's current form for anywhere near 100% of it's capacity. Whether adding more ram will be beneficial to you is anyone's guess. In either case, throwing in the extra 2x16gig would give you the peace of mind that you probably have spec'ed out your machine to the absolute maximum performance.
