For a system to operate using dual-channel memory, the RAM modules must be of equal size and speed and installed in the paired slots designated by the motherboard. Typically, the paired slots are color-coded on the motherboard, which is integral in assisting with the proper placement of the RAM sticks. Hence, placing two identical RAM modules in the appropriate slots will activate dual-channel mode leading to better performance.
