If you ran 4 sticks of RAM it would still be considered dual channel RAM, if you ran 3 sticks it generally runs at single channel due to the mismatch.
As for the RAM working, its kinda iffy. Most of the time mixing RAM works out, the closer in spec the better. But the only way to be certain is to buy RAM sold in kits, since they are tested from the factory. Chances are good it will work, but there is still a chance it wont.
