what are your views on 2x16Gb memory strips vs. 4x8Gb memory strips

[AuntBea]

I am replacing the memory in my new workstation. I have already picked out what type I need, and how much total memory. I am just debating on the setup.

These are the 2 types I am looking at:
Crucial 32GB (2 x 16 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Server Memory Model CT2K16G3ERSLD4160B

Crucial 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) ECC Registered Server Memory Model CT8G3ERSLD4160B

Will you upgrade?

Do you have a Quad Channel MB/CPU?
