The new Lynnfield CPUs use dual-channel memory, i.e., multiples of two, so I imagine most Lynnfield motherboards will have four RAM slots. But Gigabyte has announced at least one motherboard with six slots, the P55-UD6.

Off topic I'm curious what the projections (purely guesses at this point) are for the expansion and multiboxing... I wonder if these current i7 920 systems, like the one I have, will be able to handle the ever increasing demands.
I don't imagine Blizzard will increase WoW's hardware requirements for a long time, and hardware requirements of new games are being held back somewhat by the publisher's desire to develop simultaneously for consoles and PCs. So I think you're probably safe for a while.

But a year or two from now, new PCs will probably be able to run more WoWs than your machine can. CPUs with 8 cores/16 threads are on the way.
