    You can ask your Reseller. Sometimes they even let you pick which one if they have multiple available :)
    See: Clevo P170HM - What RAM did yours ship with? (Malibal)

    But that RAM should work fine.

    I believe most Sager models ship out with Samsung 1600MHz RAM. Some other resellers tend to use Kingston instead.

    That RAM looks like it should work :)

    You might want to check with your retailer as to the type of RAM they're using. That RAM is XTU, which although supported on the P170HM, may not get along with the RAM in your laptop if they install JEDEC 1600mhz. If your reseller says they're shipping you with XTU RAM, then it shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, I'd shop around to find JEDEC RAM instead (Kingston HyperX is one that comes up here a lot)
