And I heard that usually to run in dual channel you have to put the first two rams in 1st and 3rd slots and other two in 2nd and 4th slots and I putted them like that now ('cos the colors went like that too).

And I was just wondering is it now correctly 'cos Belarc Advisor shows different than it should be?

My mobo is MSI LTD MS-7091

Yeah, match up the sticks by color slots on your mobo. That should be right.

dont know that particular mobo but if its like all others it looks good

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I don't know what your confusion is, the way you have it installed and the way Belarc is reporting it is the same. Going from left to right you have A0 (512), A1 (256), A2 (512), A3 (256)

Well, I can't tell what colors are what on your mobo but usually, the blue slots are the main, so put your 512's there and the 256's in the black slots.

I was just wondering if the slots in belarc should show up like this
A0=512 A1=512 A2=256 A3=256

It's almost like this but with different colors
