Indeed it is. So long as you have paired chips (ie, an even number) it will run in dual channel mode. However, if the chips are not the same size, you'll only be "dual channeling" an ammount of RAM, equal to the smaller of the DIMMs.
Prolly not a big deal in practice, but theoretically, it could make a difference. Or at least that's what Sandra says
