This really doesn't sound like much of an "upgrade" considering you can probably run DDR3-1600 with the right RAM. You're cutting the amount of RAM in half and not even using one of the faster speed modules. What speed were you running at before?

Anyways, to answer your question I am having trouble locating the actual motherboard info. If you can look on the board itself and find something that resembles a model number I can get the info from the manual because it does matter which slots to occupy to run in dual channel mode. The only info available on the Gateway site is the user guide which tells nothing about the hardware side.

My first guess would be to run in slots with same numbers (A1,B1) first.
