adding RAM to another PC - compatable?

markkram 1 · 03-21-2008, 09:06 AM

in my PC i have 2x1GB sticks and in my other PC i have 1x128MB stick (ish).

I was wondering if it would be possible to take 1GB out of my PC and put it in my other one.

should i run certain programs and post the info here.

any help would be appreciated

Hi markkram 1 Welcome to TSF
We would need the system specifications for both machines.
If the is a lot of age difference between the machines (more than a year or two) then you likely will not be able to do it.
Run everest it will give you all the info you need.

The second post is right, we need more info. Post the specs of both machines and don't proceed to change out the ram unless there is a reply from another tech.
