O.k. both of you are right.
Gigabyte AMD based boards seems to follow "0-0-1-1" scheme and Intel ones
goes "0-1-0-1" but that's all. In both cases, same colored slots indicate
where to put the matching RAM modules to get a dual-channel setup.
It can be worst, though. There are manufacturers that paint all the RAM
slots in black or using the same color and so forcing us to read the
manual >:-)
