@Lohengrin: Thanx for the info. So both dual channel and tri channel RAM are different in looks or the things inside it?

OK. So I have to specifically buy a dual channel RAM?

AFAIK the difference isn't in the RAM itself but rather in the motherboard (or memory controller?).

Anways, in very simple and basic terms, in tri-channel you'll need to install 3 sets of RAM modules/pieces (ex: 1GB + 1GB + 1GB) while in dual-channel you only need 2 sets (ex: 2GB + 2GB).

Now, some manufacturers release special RAM bundles/kits specifically for dual or tri channel but those will be explicitly labeled as such and of course will follow the same rule 3 pieces for tri and 2 for dual.

OK. I'm gettin some ideas.

Well I wanna buy just one 2GB RAM stick so it will only be single channel right? :unsure:

Yes, which is not a good idea, get 2x 1GB (or 2x 2GB of course) sticks, should deliver better performance (assuming dual channel).

Yea. Let's see. I still have time. I'll soon check the prices. As the prices are quite less than what MRP is. So never know I may end up buyin a i7. :blink:

Make sure you all know that there are different versions in i5. Only i5 750 is a Quad core. Others are Duo Core.

Yea same here.

But it's RS. 12,000 or 10,000 here only for CPU.

is intel REALLY better than amd i mean in realtime tests side by side?

That statement/question is meaningless, you can't compare two organizations, you can only compare two specific products, so pick which processors you want to compare.
