In trying to install dual channel memory, i need to install them on the opposite color slots or on the similar color slots?
My motherboard is asus b75m plus , its manual says that i should install them on the opposite color slots..

95% of boards you put the memory in the SAME COLORED slots to get dual channel, you can either read the manual and see which way it goes (can still be a pain in the butt sometimes) or as haxer said you can get CPU-Z look at memory tab (only the memory tab) and see if it says dual or single channel.
