I have a GA-8IPE1000-G Rev.3.x and the manual says that you need 4
sticks with the same specs (i.e. "the same memory size and type" - p.
15 Nr. 4) for dual channel.
So you may start with 2x512 (and try o'c) and add 2x256 later on...

I can confirm (if its anything like my Gigabyte s939) that it wont run with
3 dimms.
