I am planning to get newer motherboard soon therefore I want to get suitable memory for the upcoming motherboard, but in the same time works with my actual motherboard.

Mostly I agree with what t_u said ( might work, but only at 1600, no advantage).
But being a little more adventurous, and if I was getting the ram anyway, and it is the same voltage, I would get it early and try 1 stick to start with, just to see if it would boot.
note:
While it is a low risk experiment, there is always a chance something could go wrong. So it has to be your decision whether to go for it or not.

that ram is 1.5 V so be sure it handles it, and check if the other ram is 1.5 V also ! (if you installed other ram before)

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:
I found the solution myself.
It will not work on my motherboard for 2 reawsons:
1- the motherboard dont suppot 1866 Mhz Memories.
2- Each slot can't handle more han 4 GB memory.

We told you earlier back the motherboard would not support the faster memory. So I don't think you found the solution yourself.
