The board works fine with 3 sticks at stock speeds. You may have to increase the dimm voltage a little for stability though. Secondly, once you use more than one stick, the board reverts to 2T command rate, as well as most other boards. This degrades memory performance by a LOT. I lose 400 memory points in sandra when I put my second stick in.
