memory - Max RAM per slot - Asus motherboard

I'm looking to expand my virtual lab so I'll need more RAM. I have an Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 motherboard. The specifications state:



4 x DIMM, Max. 16GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1333/1066 Hz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture



I came across a few comments mentioning the fact that it needs 4 * 4 GB RAM modules because it won't be able to access all the memory in configuration 2 * 8 GB. A web based configurator throw up the same info. I would definitely prefer the 2 * 8 GB so I could eventually reuse it on my next configuration.
