you should be able to just plug them all in since its 4 RAM sticks, (i probly should have said that first D:) make sure its in quad. when i say 1+3 i mean the first and the 3rd RAM slot, and 2+4 means the 2nd and 4th slot, thats usually how its setup. If you were only installing two memory sticks, you'd want to install both of them in Channel A (yellow slots) for optimal performance. usually the RAM slots are 2 different colors, you match up the pairs to those 2 colors. The yellow memory slots could indicate Channel A and Channel B could be indicated by the black slots. For example, a motherboard could have two yellow and two black memory slots. When a motherboard has different colored memory slots, it indicates the memory slots are dual-channel, and pairs of memory should be installed on the same channel (color). Why are the memory slots different colors? If all slots are full and you want to upgrade the computer memory, you need to remove some or all of the existing memory. It is not uncommon for computers to have all memory slots occupied. It is also important to note how many available memory slots are available in your computer. Make sure you know exactly the type of RAM to buy for your computer. When buying a new computer or motherboard, pay close attention to the types of RAM the memory slots can accept. In this picture, there are three open and available slots for three memory sticks. The picture below is an example of what memory slots may look like inside a desktop computer. The most common RAM types are SDRAM and DDR for desktop computers and SODIMM for laptop computers, each having various types and speeds. Most motherboards have two to four memory slots, which determine the type of RAM used with the computer. A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot allows RAM (computer memory) to be inserted into the computer.
