I think so if that's what the orange slots are (the same ones my previous 3 x 2 GB 1,333 MHz memory modules were fitted to). The two working 4 GB modules I have fitted at the moment until I get the replacements from Amazon have been fine so far albeit they are running in dual-channel mode.

Incidentally, is it better for me to fit all three memory modules from the new kit or keep the two working ones I have now and just take one from the new kit? Obviously, the latter would mean that I'd have three chances to find a working memory module whereas the former means that if one of those is bad too then I'm stuck with two duff tri-channel memory kits. I'm guessing that I should probably try and test the three from the new kits first then if they don't work start mixing-and-matching as a last resort? Or doesn't it really matter?
