I want to use 2 E5 2683 v3 CPU's with the SUPERMICRO MBD-X10DAL-I motherboard. The motherboard has 8 ram slots and supports 2133mhz DDR4. I am thinking about getting a couple sticks of this ram as it may allow for easy expansion to higher amounts of ram. I know with enthusiast grade hardware you don't have to fill all the slots. Let's say I only want to buy two sticks of this to start off with (mostly for cash flow reasons), will the system work with only one stick for each CPU? What are the allowable Ram stick allocations assuming I only use 32GB sticks? For example 1 stick for each CPU, 2 sticks for each CPU, 4 sticks for each CPU? EDIT: The CPU and Motherboard support 256GB of RAM.
Would I be better off getting 8x 16GB sticks and being done with it?

Samsung DDR4-2133 32GB/4Gx72 ECC/REG CL15 Server Memory M393A4K40BB0-CPB
