Running Dual Channel RAM

Hi. Along with my new motherboard, the Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939, I got another stick of OCZ Premier 512MB DDR400 PC3200 CL 2.5-3-3-7 with Heatspreader (already had one of the same before), so i'll have two of the the above sticks in total.

There is 4 RAM slots on the mobo, top two are purple and bottom two are orange. Im guessing one pair is for dual channel.

Now can I run both my sticks of OCZ Premier 512MB DDR400 PC3200 CL 2.5-3-3-7 with Heatspreader in dual channel? Would this mean they both go in the orange slot? Or both go in the purple slot? Or one in the purple and one in the orange? I DID read the manual from the Gigabyte website but could not get my answer.

Thanks in advance.

Heres a large picture of the mobo: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/mainbo...39-nforce3.html (Scroll down and click on the image, it'll get bigger).

Aha gotcha. Ok cool. I think it's both in the orange slot I have to put it in. Nice one Biene. It's all arriving tomorrow. I'll make a post or even a step-by-step to my first ever PC build.
Hope I dont stuff it up or run into any errors :oops:
