Solved!
Go to SolutionDual Channel Stock RAM?
OK, I'm cheap and been holding out for RAM.
Just found a 8gb stick of RAM on the local craigslist for $45 that has the same exact model number of the stick in my Inspiron 15 7000.
If I get this and install it will it run dual channel?

I'm happy to report the HP memory not only had the same part number but the same chips. It's not top of the line but I now have 16GB of dual channel, reported in the bios, for $40.1419

If it is the same make, speed, size, and type...maybe. Even within the same exact RAM from a specific manufacturer there are at times slight variances. That is why RAM is sold in matched pairs. Then they are certified compatible for dual channel use. There is no way to guarantee it will work other than installing it and see what happens.
