I currently have an Intel board that is operating in dual channel mode (2)
256 sticks for a total of 512MB.

I just got a single 512 stick and will plant it in the 3rd slot leaving the
4 slot open.

Will my (2) 256 sticks still operate in dual channel mode doing this?
 
Probably not. Check your motherboard/system documentation. Generally you
need an even number of sticks/sides. If you have an odd number the dual
channel is disabled.
 
the quick answer is NO but rtm for your specific mb. Usually has to be
identical memeory in the slots specified in the manual
