It sounds like you have dual channel RAM which has to be installed in pairs.

the two red slots are for a different type of ram so no.
red slots are for one type :yellow for another.
next time you post a question like this would be nice to know your mother board.

NO. the slots are for different types of ram One is probably ddr and the other is ddr2. I THINK you can mix them if they fit properly but you will slow down your board. and i don't know what it would do to your stability. I wouldn't do it.

Maybe the red slots are for video memory, assuming that you have a newer motherboard.
