The Rampage II Extreme can handle up to 24GB of DDR3-1600 in triple
channel using and even higher than 1600, usually with a BIOS update,
however for some reason the RIIE is using chipset software from before
the X58 came out, and I have no idea why there's been no updates to
the firmware there.  There was a hidden feature for my mobo, it
mentions it can do triple SLI, but then in the manual it mentions
under Vista that it can actually do triple CrossfireX as well, yet
it's never mentioned anywhere else.
