Title br0, I need a new motherboard because I'm a loving handicap and I only have two RAM cards right now, if I installed just two cards in a triple channel motherboard would puppies die?

Probably not.
My PC has 3 RAM sticks in it, when there's four slots on my motherboard.

Sarcastic? I was saying "probably not" because there are rare occasions where it will screw things up.

Edit: I meant to say probably, not probably not.

Either way.
