There are 2 channels A and B on the motherboard each channel takes 2 sticks of memory .
Memory is usually sold in matching pairs although it's called dual channel, this meaning both sticks work in that channel.

4 sticks can run in dual channel just fine but can run a tad slower than two sticks of double size (might be out of date on that last bit, many moons ago when i used to tweak the fastest stable speeds were with 2 sticks rather than 4 even if total capacity was the same. Something something IMC :shrug
