Depends.  If the memory is separated into banks, you could have a bank of two 2x1GB memory ICs (4GB), then two 2x2GB memory ICs (8GB).

Xbone uses a 16 chips of 4Gb module @1066 MHz (Micron D9PZN): http://www.micron.com/parts/dram/ddr3-sdram/mt41j256m16ha-093

The fastest 8Gb module runs at 900Mhz: http://www.micron.com/products/dram/ddr3-sdram#fullPart&236=3

And no... they can't do 2x1GB (8Gb modules) and 2x2GB (16Gb modules that didn't exists and I think will never exists)... they need to go with 16 chips without change the design/project and use the memory at slow clock (900Mhz insted 1066Mhz).

8 x 4Gb modules = 4GB
8 x 8Gb modules = 8GB

So you have 12GB running at 900Mhz (57.6GB/s insted 68.3GB/s)
