Should I leave the 2 2gb chips in slots one and two or put the two 4GB chips in one and two and add the smaller chips in three and four ? Or does it matter ?
Leave them in place. The exact positioning of the RAM chips is only important in the sense that the two channels should be paired - whether the big DIMM or the small DIMM is first in the channel doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance
If you use the Safari browser (looks like a compass, in your Dock - it's the most common browser on a Mac and the one that is bundled with a new Mac), you can empty this cache from the Safari menu in the menubar. You can also do a more complete reset of history and cookies etc from the same menu.
