What RAMs are compatible with my motherboard

[TheDexx]

Hey guys, 

I am new here and this is my first post, so please be gentle.

To the problem - I have a  GA-P55-UD4P  motherboard, and on the official site (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3160#sp) under the "specifications" it says "4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory" BUT under the "Support and Downloads" (http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-p55-ud4p.pdf) it shows file where the max size of RAM is 2GB. So my question is - can I fit a 2x8GB (16GB total) of RAM (with proper Hz's ofc) or do I have to stick with 4x2GB (8GB total) ?

" "4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory " You just answered your question. You can go any position you want, 1x8, 1x16, 2x8, 4x2, 4x4.

Go with 2x8. 

The site gets updated with new information.

PDFs do not.

so it doesnt matter that the "support" file contains only RAMs with 2GB tops?

Nope, if not sure use pcpartpicker

Nah those are only QVL aka Qualified Vendors List. Each vendor cannot test all the available RAM in the market as that's really time consuming.

Probably not, my old MacBook said it only supported 2gb too.

But actually it could actually hold 32gb.

 

Gigabyte isn't going to update every support file, they have to update the site.
