That system has 2 DIMM slots using DDR3 1066 RAM. The most you can install is 4 GB which is 2 x 2GB. The 8 GB modules will not work.That is per the Dell specs. However Crucial states that you can use DDR3L 1600 RAM modules but the maximum per Crucial is 8 GB which is 2 x 4 GB RAM modules. Either way the 8 GB RAM module will not work. I am not sure which form factor you have but they all seem to have the same limitation.
