Replacement Ram for P55-UD2 rev 1.0 motherboard

[p5200]

Can anyone tell me if this Ram would be a good choice  G Skill F3-17600CL9T-6GBPS to replace this G Skill  F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ ? Or is there some more updated better choices now I picked this out of an older pdf file for this board. I'm running 4 sticks (8GB) of the mentioned ram at this time but, I've been using it for four years now.  Thanks!

1st of all that is made for a board that will run 3 sticks. Yes memory is memory and you can run it, but why it is design to run triple data with 3 sticks. 

2nd I would just buy the same memory you are running. That board supports 16gb and I would buy F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL 4-4gb stick at 1600 ghz.

3rd you mightl only be able to run that memory  G Skill F3-17600CL9T-6GBPS at 1866. Because there is no setting for that memory at 2133.

The last thing is stick with what is working. Getting faster memory you are not going to see any difference between them.

I was also thinking about upgrading the motherboard and processor but if I don't, I'll probably do what you said and put the full 16GB in.  Thanks!

Just when you decide to upgrade look at all the different CPU's and motherboards.

Look at the 2011 CPU's vs the 1155 & 1150 CPU's. I'm running 2133 on my Ga-x79-UD4.

All I had to do was just change the speed from 1333 to 2133 save and exit that was it.
