Now, Slots 1 and 3 did allow the computer to POST, but i was wondering if i would get better performance out of slots 2 and 4. Also, if i were to switch the slots, would the computer be fine and boot after the switch if i did that as in the memory not being corrupted and such Probably a really dumb question, but im a first time builder, so im still not entirely sure.
Btw the ram I have are the g. Apr 22, 43, , 9, Well, you are the one that said 1 and 2. But no, it doesn't make any difference which pair of matching lots you use.
Some boards' manuals recommend using one set first for best stability. But if your board doesn't have that disclaimer, it won't matter. If the manual recommends DIMM slots 1 and 2, those will provide dual channel speed.
If you have them in 1 and 3, you are losing some performance by only being in single channel speed. If you add another pair of matched RAM sticks, they should go in 1 and 4. Karadjgne Titan Ambassador. Dec 26, 26, 3, , 4, Asus recommends slots 2 and 4 in all their boards. This is by design. It makes life easy. Many aftermarket coolers especially the twin tower style can broach slot 1, but it's very rare to find a cooler that'll broach slot 2 as well.

Once you know where your RAM needs to go, you're ready to start installing. Each RAM slot will have two small clips at either side. Press these down to open them. They don't need to move very far, so don't use too much force. RAM sticks are keyed, which means they have a gap in the connector that will ensure you can only insert them one way.
