Hi:

 

The maximum amount of memory you can install in your notebook is 2 x 4 GB of PC3-10600 memory.

 

Only the models with the 1st gen quad core processors and motherboards can take 16 GB of memory.

 

Since you already have a 4 GB memory module, you can remove the 2 GB chip and get this one if you want to upgrade to the max of 8 GB.
