Can I remove memory from a computer its originally installed on the computer to another computer?
Q. My sister’s new computer only has 128 Megs of memory. I was wondering if I can remove memory that is already installed on a computer into her computer.

Yes you can. But first you will have to check the type size and model number of memory your have on both computers. Only if they are the same you can install. Check at:

As long as they fit into the mother board. If it doesn’t fit into the slot, than obviously no. If it does , than yes.
Yes you can
if your sis’ machine comes with just 128 megs, i doubt whether it IS a new one….
before you add memory into a computer, check for the following things:
whether the memory type is compatible- whether it is sd ram, ddram, again whether it is ddr1, ddr2 or ddr3.DONT EVER MIX THESE TYPES. THEY WONT MATCH. in case it is new, it will be a ddr2 or mostly a ddr3. so add only an identical module.
whether the motherboard can support it- some motherboards can support upto only 4gb,etc.
whether you mix and match the old and the new one.it is better if you remove the 128mb ram module while adding a new one. even though the system will recognize it, the machine performance will not be exactly the same, to some extent.also, a 128mb will be very tiny addition to a 2 or a 4gb module.
you can check this all with the help of a computer expert nearby.
hope this will help anyway.
You should confirm the new Memory has the some port .good luck
