I think with dual channel, as long as the pairs match compared to your motherboard manuel then they should run dual channel, genrally the two run 1-3 and 2-4 ram channels and should be different colours ... possibly.

yes you were right on the fact that there was 2 different colors i have 2 blue slots and 2 brown slots or black one of those colors so i kept 1 in blue and put the other in the 3 slot which was a brown slot. but still no dual channel

when i got the pc it had the two sticks of memory into the two blue slots but dual channel was not working. The sticks are exactlly the same as far as I can see they are the same. right now I have one stick in the 2nd slot and 1 stick in the 4th slot. Since none of these comboniations work is there somthing I have to enable to have it in dual?
