Quick question.  I have been lurking in the shadows for the last couple of months waiting for Sandy Bridge to hit before leeping into a new desktop.  I noticed all the DS builds for SB cap at 8GB, the boards support more memory...  curious as to if the 8GB's we can configure online are shipping with 2x4GB and two slots open or 4x2GB with all the slots full?  When ordering can we request the higher density ram?

Call me a crazy guy, but I really want 16GB in my next machine

yes, 16Gb is no problem, but you will have to call them... hopefully they will add it to the standard configulator...
also, a side note, SB memory performance is very good, beating the tri-channel setup on X58 for bandwidth..
and, 16Gb is not going to help at all in regular usage, or gaming, but photoshop type programs, yes it is nice to have the extra RAM
