The router will warn you at bootup, but will use the cards normally.  If
one of the interface has very little traffic, you might not even see a
performance degradation.  If all interfaces try to run at line speed,
things will suffer, of course...

OTOH, if you contact TAC with a problem on this router, they might tell
you "this is an unsupported configuration, go away"...
