One of your RAM sticks is double-sided and the other is single-sided. If you want to run in dual-channel mode then your sticks should match. Many motherboard chipsets can run non-matching sticks just fine but it won't run at its maximum possible speed.
What was the exact message given by the tiny lady inside your computer?
What kind of motherboard are you running? You can get the motherboard info (as well as info about everything else) with Everest. You can get the motherboard info by clicking the "+" to the left of "Motherboard" in the list on the left, then click "Motherboard" in the sublist which opens up. The "Motherboard Name" and "Company Name" tell you what kind of motherboard it is.
If you want to test your RAM you can run MemTest86.
