Answer depends on the system; for most systems of recent vintage a single module by itself will run in dual channel mode, as will matched pairs of RAM -- maximizing bandwidth.
Mismatched modules -- one 4+one 8 -- run the first part (8G) in dual channel mode, and the other 4 in half-bandwidth single channel mode.
