Maximum width of FIFO

[Altera_Forum]

Hello, 

 The maximum width of a FIFO in the IP catalog GUI wizard is limited to 256 bits. I need a wider FIFO and want to avoid cascading FIFOs.  Will it work to manually change the generated HDL instantiation file to the width I desire (for example 1024 bits) ?

Did you try it? what were the results? 

Why not use two parrallel fifos?
