if it supports flex memory (i'm assuming its running an intel chipset inside) it will support dual channel up to the size of the smallest memory of the pair, the remaining will be running on single channel.

QUOTE
Flex mode
This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics. The bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation; the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to single channel operation. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single channel operation across the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is necessary to populate both channels.
