This motherboard I am looking at is the Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS, on Newegg it says this can have a maximum of 8gb (2x4gb etc.) so could I put 2x8gb and get 16 or would the motherboard not recognize that and my OS would only see 8gb? link to the pc I plan to build ($500ish budget)

Any Help Appreciated! Thank you all. :??:
