I have the P5N-E SLI board, and to run in dual channel, it's same colored slots. I suggest you put them in the black slots, because the yellow slots are kinda buggy.

depends on the motherboard, actually.
my old abit nf4 ultra ram went into same color side by side slots.
it will say in your manual. if you dont have it, g-o-o-g-l-e your mobo and you will find it.

his mobo is YBYB, yellow, black reespectively, dimms pairs must be in same colors
