Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! (fill all black for dual OR fill all black AND green for triple?) [meaning I now have 1 stick I cant use?] Click to expand... kinda. for that mobo, it says to run them in tri-channel, either all the green slots need to be filled or all slots need to be filled. but you can still run ram in dual channel, it just says to put the ram in the 4 slots closest to the cpu (dimm 2 and 1, 4 and 3)
