Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
That should read Triple Channel Mode. You need 3 matching sticks of RAM - ie identical - for it to run in Triple Channel Mode. You don't have that right now.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Correct again mr Dave - he needs 4 sticks of ram to take advantage of the bandwidth of his quad channel capable board

Yep. One of the "quirks" of that generation of processor is the triple channel configuration. Before them most CPUs could run in dual channel. And now most processors can run quad channel. But those chips work best in triple channel. Hence my 3x8 GB of ram.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
I really want to just totally upgrade my system.. Any suggestions? Also does PT work with the new chipset or is that a stupid question?

i7 Builds - Specs and Results
Well I'm probably not the best guy to ask. I've not kept up with pc hardware lately. If you want to really upgrade an e5 xeon based rig would be the obvious step up. Not sure if anyone is really using it with pro tools. And don't know if there's a "consumer" equivalent like the 1366 socket systems. IMO anything less than an e5 would be more if a cross grade.
If you did build a new haswell based rig, it would probably out perform what you have now. But just fixing your ram and upgrading to a 6-core processor would outperform the haswell based rig and cost less. At least that's my opinion. And like I said. I'm probably not the one to ask And for kicks I just looked it up. There is a "consumer" series of socket 2011 chips. Not sure if anyone has built a rig around them, but that's where I'd look. However it looks like the base 6-core is around $550. They do have a quad for about $300. That's def the direction I would look.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
I would wait on the 3rd quarter of this year if possible if you want to build a top of line machine.
The six and eight core Haswell's with quad channel DDR4 memory are due out then.
