From looking at the ASUS documentation, it seems that the P5LD2 maxes out at 4GB of memory, so 4x1GB is the safe bet. Even if it works with 2x2GB, the motherboard doesn't seem to support any more memory, although you might still check with your vendor.
I have this one, the P5W DH Deluxe, and would recommend it to anybody, although it costs more money. It maxes out at 8GB, but its technology is getting a bit stale - good in that it has been around quite some time and is very "mature" (stable), but not so good because there are better options that may even be less expensive.
If I was building a new machine and I didn't care about hardware RAID - which is expensive - I would think very hard about this motherboard, the ASUS P5K-VM. Max mem of 8GB in 4 slots, so 2x2GB in that case.
