My computer works fine, but out of interest I was browsing info on my motherboard (an Asus B85M-G). I came across the following review which states:
"Four memory slots are provided for a maximum of 32GB of DDR3 RAM, although, despite the colouring of the slots, you should place your RAM sticks in consecutive rather than alternate slots; doing the latter will result in your computer failing to boot or running in single-channel mode."

I've checked the memory placement on the board and the sticks are placed in the two black (i.e. non-yellow) slots - which according the review is the wrong placement.
However, my computer boots up fine and according to the Memory tab on CPU-Z the 'Channel #' is 'Dual'.
Is the review wrong or am I missing something?
