[2] the DDR3 RAM modules can fit into various combinations of the memory slots on the motherboard. From the instruction booklet it seemed like A1 and B! were the ones to use (they are at the top of the list in the table they give). Do you know if that is the correct way to add them?
#1 is correct.

#2 I usually put them in side by side in the lowest numbered slots. There are certain memory types of really fast memory that you only put into certain slots. I don't think I had you buy that stuff, as it is usually about $75-100/GB and usually are using 4GB modules.
