Sorta. The 2x2 modules will run at 1333Mhz. The single module will run at half speed. The speed is an effective speed of two(dual) modules working in tandem.

P.S. There's no guarante that stick will work with the others even if it's identical. RAM are sold in kits for a reason. They've been tested to ensure compatibility. I and others here have fielded plenty of questions about why their PC won't work with the same exact RAM. 95% sure it'll be okay. You've got to ask yourself one question...
