    Yes, that is the RAM info. By looking at the specs theorotically the RAM inside the laptop should be able to work in dual channel with the one from the link.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    In order for 2 memory modules to work in dual channel they have to be the same capacity.

    The DRAM bus width should also be the same(x8 or x16). Single rank and dual rank modules won't work in dual channel. If the RAM module in the laptop is also 1Rx8 as the one from the link(I think with HWiNFO you can find that out without opening the laptop), they will work in dual channel.

    To be 100% sure that the ram modules will work in dual channel it is best if they are the same brand and type.

    Is this the ram info? I'm not sure about the dram width that you are talking and also the single rank and dual rank module.
    Also thank you very much for your reply :)
