There are two slots on the inspiron 15 5558 and has a 8gb ram? i want to ask whether this ram is divided into the two slots as a 4gb+4gb or a single 8gb in a single slot?
 
Solution
The performance will improve if you have the same memory module of the same speed but you wont see a drastic changes, you can have the single ram or two of 8gb ram. The brand does not necessarily matter most of the times but is required to have the same DDR.
I've found the specs of your laptop inspiron 15-5558
slots Two SODIMM slots
Type Dual-Channel DDR3L
Speed 1600 MHz
Configurations supported 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, 12GB and 16GB
Here's the pdf specs for the laptop
