suitable RAM chip for a mid-2010 MacBook Pro

Is a 8GB DDR3L-1600 Mhz SODIMM DDR3 PC3-12800 RAM 1600Mhz chip suitable for a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010)? It has only a single 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 now.

13", 15", and 17" models MacBook Pro mid 2010 all use two 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM sticks.


The 13" is apparently unofficially capable of 16 GB, though officially 8 GB from Apple.


The 15" and 17" models are both 8 GB.
