Per the manual, if you're using 2 DIMMs, place them in slots A2 and B2. (Blue slots)

What is your setup? Put 1 in each black if you have 2 modules for dual channel.

Oooooh you bet! When I made the move to crossfire I had way too much fun, haha. Feeling the excitement - makes me want to upgrade again!.. Hopefully Bulldozer is worthy, or else I'll follow you on to Sandy Bridge real soon here

No, there is no realistic difference, they usually just suggest the slots that are "read" first if I'm not mistaken. There wouldn't be a performance difference if you were to put another 8GB in the other 2 slots (i.e. slots A/B2 wouldn't be faster than A/B1).

As DeltaUpsilon has quoted from the User Manual, the two black or the two blue slots can be used. But Asus suggests using the blue slots (A2 and B2) for better compatibility. It makes no mention of performance reason. But what this compatibility is referred to? Perhaps between the memory controller and the DIMMs? Asus does not elaborate.
