Usually the slots are either marked or color coded (for example: two blue slots and two black slots or marked as channel 1 or channel 2). To enable dual channel mode both slots of the same color (or marking) must be filled.
If you would download CPU-Z and run it then post the motherboard manufacturer/model from the mainboard tab it would help determine if your mobo has this capability.
