Hi Rodney:

1)With regards to powersupplies in the 900+W range, do you prefer single or multiple rail systems? Rationale? What do you think of the Ultra X4 1050W, i'm debating between the ultrax4 1050W,corsair 1000hx, and enermax 1020 rev85+...

2)Motherboard memory channel support. If a motherboard states it supports a type of channel memory, for example triple channel support, does it necessarily mean it only supports triple channel or could it support dual or quad channel support as well. The board I have in mind is the MSI X58 Big Bang board.

Thanks!

1) 2) Nope, there

1)

2) Nope, there is no "quad channel" memory atm and it isn't backwards compatible with dual channel. X58 boards only support triple channel RAM but if configured incorrectly, like putting the modules in the wrong DIMMS, triple channel mode will not run.
