if it is comopatable then yes. make sure you know the hardware specs like if it is ddr ram or ddr2 sdram and the speed and make sure your computer can support it

The processor has nothing to do with this! Check the manuals on both systems and find out what you have for memory and what each system uses. If you dont have manuals, they can be downloaded from the motherboard mfg website.

sure, they're going to artwork basically high-quality. It would not harm to position in swifter RAM than the motherboard helps, they're going to easily run slower and cooler than what they're rated for if the board would not help swifter RAM. in case you blend them with the present RAM, they're going to run on the 667 %. in case you placed in them by technique of themselves and the board is able to operating at 800, it is what they're going to run at. i ought to do away with the old RAM and placed the hot sticks in by technique of themselves. it would not remember no matter if you employ the yellow slots or the black slots yet do not use one yellow and one black. Use a similar color slot for both sticks. Matched pairs run swifter this kind. you'll stumble on the gadget will coach all 4 gigabytes contained in the BIOS yet domicile windows will purely coach round 3.5 gigs. this is a quandary of 32 bit operating structures and does not aspect out a difficulty with the RAM. you ought to make certain an important progression in % over the 1GB you're making use of now.

Actually, the processor has nothing to do with the type of memory. As long as you have the same type of memory in your new computer (like SIMMs, DIMMs, SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, etc) that is in your old one, there shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, but you need to check a few things.
What type your new motherboard takes DRAM etc, what speed you are running at, and how many sticks it will take.
Easiest way is compare the Motherboard Manuals

Only if the motherboards are same or if your new motherboard supports the RAM sticks. (Check out the speed of RAM)

depends on what type of ram it is. I would say no, since intel boards are now ddr2.

Unlikely, speed in RAM is already different.
