Hi:

 

Yes, you can use that part number since it is listed on the crucial memory report for your model.

There is no such thing as dual channel or single channel memory.

 

Memory is memory.

 

The way that memory runs is single channel or dual channel.

 

Single channel...One memory slot empty, or memory slots with different capacity memory modules (8 GB + 4 GB for example).

 

Dual channel...Both memory slots populated with matching capacity memory (8 GB + 8 GB, for example).
