Can the Asus Rampage IV Extreme (2011) run on 2 DIMMs?

Hey all. I'm thinking of just putting 16GB of RAM in my system when the time comes around instead of 32GB, 2 DIMM instead of 4 DIMM.

I want to use 8GB modules instead of 4GB to ensure maximum expanse-capacity later on, up to 64GB.

Can anyone gimme any clues? I've seen plenty of older systems with only one RAM module, but the 2011 socket is a bit beyond all that, so having a minimum module limit wouldn't be ridiculous while supporting up to 8 DIMMs.

Running 2x8GB will be fine

You can run only 1 if you wanted to

Ah alright. I was worried having so many DIMMs available would put a lower limit on how many you could use.

Good to know I'm set, 16GB will do for a little while anyway!

That should do a while yeah

Oh trust me, I'll be making the jump to 32GB as soon as I can lol

After Effects likes to eat through the lot of it. Been bottle-capped at 4GB for years now, having to set huge pagefiles for a long time.
I seriously can't wait to get my new system.
