Hi,

I have 4 slots on my MOBO, 2x Blue, 2x Black. I have 2x 4gb 1333 of RAM but they are both in the Black slots, because if i put one in a Blue and one in a Black, it shows only 4gigs of RAM instead of 8gb. So if i put 2x4gb 1333 more (beside my 8gb(2x4g)) and fill every slot (blue and blacks) will it show 16gb of RAM? And whats the difference between Blue and Black slots? Thanks

If you have only 2 memories you MUST put them in slot of same color, because ist one memory chanel. Yes it will be 16 gb of memory but if you have other memory type put 1 type of memories to black slots and the other to black slots. No difference only one color ist first chanel and other color is second chanel.
