Old Memory in New PC?

Would it be ok to take the memory out of my old PC and put it in my new build for the time being?

The memory that I ordered for my new build is faulty and needs sending back which may take a while, so I was wondering if I'd be able to use my old memory if it works?

I have the following motherboard

and the following memory

The memory in my old PC says the following on each stick

M-Ram

DDR2-128X64-800MR
1GB DDR2-800Mhz-CL5

It will only be temporary as when my new memory is replaced for a working it, I'll put that in. Just thinking of ways how I can get my new machine up and running quicker.

Is there anything else I need to check to make sure it will work?

It will also let me know if it's definately my memory that's causing my PC problems!
 
They will work along side each other, because they are both 800mhz so running at the same frequency but it's not advisable to mix brands.
Also it depends on your max memory for your mobo
