we have 4 channel for the RAM
And you can read on this site http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dp55wb.html
It " Support for up to 16 GB of system memory "

Question:
Did they mean every channel support up to 16GB
or
All channel can support up to 16GB

hi .. ok
that's mean it's maximum 16 GB for all slots
I can Put in every slot 4 GB RAM ( 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 ) ??

but can I but in one slot 1 RAM 16 GB ?
Or 2 Slots of RAM 8 GB ?

And what if I put in every slot 8 GB that's mean 32 GB .. What will happend ???

Probably the system will not boot.
When choosing RAMs, use the manufacturers configurators for finding compatible kits.
