Which slots (1-4) for 2 size ram stick
Want to replace 2 of 4 -4gb sticks of ram with 2-8gb sticks.
Both are the same type DDR3-1600 or ddr3l.... but are not the same brand and are slightly different.
Which slots should I install them on... Honestly, I am confused and have exhausted google to find answers.
They say use 1 and 3 if you are only going to use 2 sticks... but I have no idea what to do in this case. (no pun intended.

If the two 8GB are identical in speed although from different maker, install in the two white slots to make it dual channel
if the old 2x4 gb are same speed ddr3-1600, you can install those in two black slots to have total 24 GB. Still dual channel
