Nope - the socket 1155 boards all have 4 slots, so dual channel is what I'm stuck with. I went with 2x4gb, and will be getting another 8gb next payday.

An update to the story, Since buying it, I basically have spent the last week troubleshooting every iteration of blue screen known to man.

Eventually I started eliminating pieces of hardware and returned/replaced the motherboard on sunday. I haven't had an issue since then, so apparently is was the mobo. I currently have it running at a base speed of 3.8ghz, and it's peaked at over 4.5ghz under heavy load, that's with no perceivable increase in temps.

Once it's burned in I'll start playing with the overclocking, but it's not really necessary - the performance I'm getting right now is more than acceptable.
