Right ram slots?

Just curious, on my asus board it seems all the grey tabbed slots want to be filled first which is 1 and 3 on 1 side and 2 and 4 on the other. This gives me 1 stick in a, b, c and d in the bios. For some reason I had previously thought in 8 slot systems with 4 sticks it was supposed to be 1 stick in a grey tabbed slot and one in a black tabbed on each side as the color showed a channel. But mine seems to want all grey until above 4. My question is do I have these in the right spot? I'm pretty sure as I had a stick in each of the 4 letters in the bios but I have seen weird setups before so I thought I would check. Thanks!

yes, all grey means quad channel. They very conveniently color code the channels for you.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
