dumb asus p5b deluxe question

[floyd19]

Just installing 2 sticks of corsair 2x 1GB ddr 1066 pc28500 memory into the board.

Should I place the Ram into slots 1 & 3 or slots 1&2?

Using intel core 2 duo6600 processor

1 & 3 if you want dual channel.

Appreciate the response, thank you.

What is the upside to running dual channel?
