Hey I got a Gigabyte GA- M56S- S3 and I got my Geil 2x1 GB in slot 3 and 4 the red coloured ones. So I got another 2x1 GB they are Kingstone but they aren't working one slot 1 and 2 . They are working on slot 3 and 4 .. The geils aren't working on slot 1 and 2 too. What can I do ?

See page 15 of the user manual. It's a bit confusing but typically, same type memory sticks go in alternating slots. So I'm not really sure just how thy are supposed to be configured.

Due to CPU limitation, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR2 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that
memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same
colored DDR2 sockets for optimum performance.

If you are attempting to run all 4 DIMM's at the same time, it's probably having problems because the DIMM's are different manufacturers. They are likely different settings for each which is keeping the system from recognizing both sets at the same time.

It is always a bad idea to mix RAM.

The slots are coloured Yellow 1-2 and Red 3-4. I put one kingstone in 3 and one geil in 4 and it does work..

They are 800 Mhz both ( Kingstone and Geil , they are 2x1 GB. )

@DelroyMonjo - You mean to put 1 geil and 1 kingstone ?

I have put in first slot or the second a geil or a kingstone and the computer doesn't post (only 1 stick)...
