Advice with Laptop RAM

[Lolman1243]

I've been looking into upgrading the RAM on my laptop. I have an Asus GL551JW-WH71. I'm quite a novice when it comes to this sort of thing, but I have seen tutorials and have found them easy to follow.

 

On Asus's website, it says I have 2 dimm slots for upgradability to 16GB, but in resource manager, it says one out of four slots are being used. Does that mean I have 2 or 4 slots? Regardless, I plan to fill that extra slot with something compatible. Asus says my laptop uses ddr3l sdram 1600mhz.

 

With that in mind, I've been looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-231-704 Can I use this in my laptop? Or can I get something with a higher clock speed?

 

(Side note: I know adding ram doesn't do a whole lot performance wise, but the RAM will be used for Blender, miscellaneous tasks, and bragging rights.)

 

Thanks so much for your help!

Accorging to Gskill.com, that laptop isn't on the QVL. Kingston has a few known-good sticks.
