Apple specs say it comes with: 4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1333MHz DDR3 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB.

So the New Egg RAM should work. Check OWC to be sure.

Upgrade Memory for Apple MacBook Pro to 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM + SSD and Drive options up to 1.0TB - for all 13

Here is a link to macspecs it will tell you all about your machine.: MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.3 13" Early 2011 Specs (Early 2011 13", MC700LL/A, MacBookPro8,1, A1278, 2351*) @ EveryMac.com

you will note that OWC , whom I also recommend ) cites that your machine can be upgraded to 16 GB if you want to go that far, and it doesn't hurt to have maxed ram.

Hope this helps you decide.
