Just reading through my new P5B Deluxe manual and it does not indicate in what slots to place your ram memory for dual channel mode. Got 2 1GB ram sticks, matching pairs. In the past (asus, abit etc) the manual indicates to run in dual channel mode the sticks are to be place in the bays with matching colours. The P5b manual does not indicate this. So which bays do I install them in for dual channel mode?

ASUS P5B Deluxe DDR2 installation

Seems the manual is a bit confusing Manual stated and I quote:
Channel A = socket DIMM A1 and DIMM A2 (Yellow-Blk)
Channel B = socket DIMM B1 and DIMM B2 (Yellow-Blk)

Therefore the manual reads like you should use A1 and A2 (Channel A) so that's how I set up but after reading the thread above I checked CPU-Z and it says I'm in single channel mode.
So I switched to A1 B1 (Yellow Yellow) and CPUZ indicates Dual channel mode
