Can I Run 2x256mb + 2x512mb on I865/i875 chipset with dual channel?

[RussianSensation]

Hi, i am just wondering for the future if i am gonna need to upgrade Ram from 2x256 (512mb) on my abit IS7 (i865) do I have to run 4x256 or 4x512 in other words same size DIMMS or I can have 1st and 3rd 2x256 and 2nd and 4th 2x512 for a total of 1.5gb?

I am not really sure if you are allowed to interchange the size of the dimms and still maintain a dual channel environment. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.

From page 2-3 of your motherboard's manual:

When installing FOUR DIMM modules: Install DIMM modules of the same type and size for slots [DIMM1]+[DIMM3], and slots [DIMM2]+[DIMM4].
