 I Have Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz, Intel DX58SO MotherBoard, Corsair CM3X2G1600C8D (2GBx3).

All settings are default.

Can I install 8GB x 2 Ram and make it 16GB or Please Suggest me better Option without compromising in performance.

Any motherboard Settings i have to change?

Use 4x4gb to get to 16gb:

Al is correct; you cannot use 8GB DIMMs on this board (they did not exist when this board was released and its BIOS last updated).
