It says it can support 2 DIMMs and 8GB of RAM. Does this mean I can use a single 8gb stick, or do I have to use 2x4?

you can use a single 8 gb without problem, but you should know that its the top of memory capability...
2067075
HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan
2067076
You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz
2067077
you can use the single 8GB stick. As mentioned elsewhere, it will probably run a bit faster with 2 sticks of 4 (as long as you aren't using slower memory).
2067078
You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

Hi again, I checked ASUS web site after reading a post about problems with 4 gig sticks. There is a bios update to address memory compatibility issues and also a USB issue.Dan
2067081
I first said I don't know but I would suggest you contact ASUS for a positive Answer, I did use two Memory Sticks for the 8GIOG total.

You should use 2x4GB sticks to enable dual-channel unganged mode for better performance

The motherboard supports a total of 128GB of RAM. So that would allow you to put a 16GB module into every DIMM slot.

I think the easy answer is no I don't think you will have problems. but it's a little complex sometimes. You should check the memory compatibility for your motherboard. Also if you have 3 or 4 memory slots using 1 8gb stick with 2 4gb stick will half the speed of your memory I think because it runs at double speed when in pairs. If you do two 8gb sticks everything will be fine but if you use 2 8gb sticks and the 2 4gb sticks you might actually hit the memory cap for your motherboard which is 16gb in some cases.Sorry for long answer hope it helped some.

According to other answers, It will support up to 8GB of RAM; however, I'm not sure how it's presently configured. My guess would be 2-2GB sticks, in which case you might need to replace them both if you want to go the max.

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

yes I have the G.Skill Ripjawz Z 8x8gb kit (2400mhz) and it is running all 8 dimms although right now (just built) I am running 2133 with bios 2.4.

Yes, it should be fine with an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick. Though you'd get slightly more performance out of 2 x 8GB sticks.

You can put up to 32 Gig 4 X 8Gig sticks or 4 4Gig sticks = 16Gig which is what I am upgrading from because I am maxing it out to 32. Hope you understand now.

Yes, these are two sticks of 4 gigs each for a total of 8 gigs of ram.They're on sale for $65! Get them! (I paid $85 :p)

Hello a kit mean comes with 2 8gb totaling 16gbs. If you have 4 slots you can go up to 4 8gb's totaling 32gbs. You need to have widows 7 64 bits to be able to use all 32gbs. You only need that much ram if you are doing video or heavy photoshop work. Also if you do autocad then you would use that much. If only doing games, e-mails normal things then 8gb's is more than enough. The Crucial sticks I got are working very well. Hope this helps.

What do you mean X8? X8 what? It will work if you have a ddr3 motherboard, you are looking way too deep into it.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Shouldn't be an issue, 1Rx8 has the memory on one side only. 2Rx8 is a two-sided memory stick. Make Sure your BIOS is up to date.

The more sticks in pair, the better it will function. You would want to get 4 sticks of 8gb if you have enough slots. What in the world are you running that needs 32gb of ram? I don't think I've ever used over 8 gb at one time.

Hi, this comes with 2 slots filled with a 2GB stick in each. It says max 4GB because that's all we tested/certified it for; however it should be able to run with 8gb without issue. Though two 4GB sticks of RAM will definitely set you back a few dollars.

Yes ma'am according to Asus site you can use this ram 2 GB Up to 16 GB Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1333MHz 4 x DIMM. So I made the jump from 4 gb of ram to 16. Some may say it is over kill but I have no bottleneck in the memory flow.
