    Not worth it unless you want to upgrade the mobo, cpu and ram. Bit of a hefty price tag.

    There's loads of three stick kits available now to go along with the i7's.

    @cuddlesworth: were those performance test by Tom's Hardware done with a 64 or a 32-bit processor? I'm thinking with a 64-bit Dualcore the Dualchannel might work much better.
