Hi,

why would they lie to you?   you can read from the horses mouth
if you really want to eg

page 44  (section 3 - part 4)

with a nice diagram too

quote (from cisco document) 

"When a Cisco Catalyst 6513 is used, the dual channel cards, such as the 6704-4 port 10GigE, the 6708-
8 port 10GigE, and the 6748-48 port SFP/copper line cards can be placed only in slots 9 to 13. The single
channel line cards such as the 6724-24 port SFP/copper line cards can be used in slots 1 to 8. The Sup720
uses slots 7 and 8, which are single channel 20G fabric attached. In contrast to the 6513, the 6509 has
fewer available slots but can support dual channel modules in all slots because each slot has dual
channels to the switch fabric."
