Check your mobo manual to see if the 2 RAM modules are in the optimum placement. With only 2 modules some boards like them spaced out a bit more, I don't remember if it makes any difference with your components though.

It looks like that's the correct placement for 2 sticks of dual channel DDR-400 RAM.
