That's a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro. You can install 2 x 4 GB modules for a total of 8 GB. So the answer is yes.

Either buy the memory from Crucial or OWC. Both are reliable.

Some PC notebooks use the same memory modules that Macs use. So yes, a DDR3 module can work in both. But it's always best to buy from a supplier that specializes in Macs. That's why I suggested OWC along with Crucial. However, NewEgg and Amazon both sell memory for Macs.
