I have an old gateway(about 7 years old) that i had bought a extended memory chip for. So can I put it into my 2 year old Compaq

Probably not. Your old Gateway probably uses SDRam and your newer Compaq uses DDR or maybe even DDR2.

NOPE. 7 year old PC typically uses slow 168 pin SDRAM. Your 2 year old Compaq could be using the faster 184 pin ddr-sdram or the 240 pin ddr2-sdram.

Gateway and Compaq both user proprietary hardware --- they're not compatible.

in the experience that your previous laptop is extra advantageous than 3 years previous, and your new laptop replaced into made those days, then probably no. they does not be nicely suited. the linked fee and the quantity of pins on the memory are diverse. Plus, memory is low-priced. save your previous device intact and use it for user-friendly applications.
