does this mean my board can take 16gb ram?

Their website says 8gb

It means your memory controller has enough pins to drive 16GiB of memory. Unfortunately that doesn't mean that the motherboard maker chose to implement it that way - they may not have provided enough DIMM slots to physically install that much memory or there may be firmware limitations on the upper limit of usable memory.

Check with the mb vendor that there are no updates available to raise that and that the information on the website is accurate - failing that you could try it out if you have DIMMs around but I would be cautious of buying new ones unless you can return them or have other uses for them.

Bryn.
