Default This is serious

I have a toshiba laptop with 512mb of ram. And my desktop pc has 256mb of ram. Is it possible in any way, to take the ram slots from my laptop and put it to my desktop?

The desktop ram could also be SDRAM.

If you have a motherboard from the late 80's/mid 90's they put laptop memory slots on some of them (or atleast one that I have) so that is the only way you could transfer ram from a laptop to a desktop, but not vice versa.

P.s. Pretty sure it was an EDO slot too.

we take everything seriously here but why would you want to there is no way it would be compatible even the old computers wouldnt support 256 ram anyway
