EVGA x58 SLI, EVGA x58 SLI Classfied, ASUS Rampage II Extreme.  Make sure you purchase your memory in a 12GB kit or you will not be able to get it to run at its rated specs.  Also I have not seen any 12gb kits over 1600.  I am not saying you cant push the 1600 to 1866 but this will be a little bit of a task.  If you get two kits of 6gb at 1866 or 2000 or 2133, getting the memory to sinc up all together will be a task.  May I ask what you need 12gb at 1866MHz for?

Most people never use more than 2Gb at one time so I'd like to hear the answer too

which is what always cracks me up when I hear people talking about anything more than 4Gb..... even with Win7 youll still be well inside a comfort zone for a couple of years at 4G unless you are into some real graphic intensive progs

The reason for 12 GB is I Work from Home and I need to Build Virtual machines to Reproduce problems at Customers site...
I have build my system As follows:
Dual boot
XP 64 Bit Windows 2008 DataCenter R2 and Using HyperV and Or VMware Client 6.5
I have Build the VM's for SUSE 10, Windows 2003,  XPpro, Vista, and Window7.

The problem is I need to Run the Database (Suse 10 or Windows 2003) and then the Client (XP,Vista) and the Application Server (Suse 10) and the same time
On the CPU side this is not an Issue as I can assign 1 of 2 Cores  as required...

However with Memory I use 4 GB for the Host  and 2-4 GB for the Database and 1-4 GB for the clients / Application server

The set up Currently: I have a ASUS PT6 Deluxe rev 1.x and Can not get it stable over 6 GB using a matched set of OCZ PC3 15000 OCZ3RPR1866C9LV6GK's (Shipped from OCZ Taiwan)
Runing @ 1066 @1333 @1600 or @ 1866 Talking to ASUS is like pissing in the wind

OCZ support is Great...
But ASUS..... well they only say that memory is not on our list  we do not support it.

BTW Disk space on the box is 4 TB as I store the HyperV / VM images as a Base Install and can reconfigure them to match the customer environment on the fly.
and 2TB is used for "working space" for the test environments.
and the Database is Teradata. www.teradata.com

Hardocp has been using a screaming fast rig with 12gb ram for their test system...  Maybe take a look at their test rig specs.
