Windows 7 Ram swap safe?

[Chris Bradley]

Hey there,
Im new here and I just wanted to just ask a quick question to anyone that will hear me out...
Ive currently got 2 systems running..
-Win 7 32bit with 2x2gb DDR2 ram
-Win XP Pro with 2x512mb DDR2 ram

and I currently have a single 1gb DDR2 ram card spare.

as my Win7 system is only utilizing 3 out of 4gb ram,
I was wondering if it would be safe to swap one of the 2gb cards with the 1gb, and install it into the other system?
Would this work, and is it safe?
Thanks

He's mine from my lappy, it only shows 2.87GB out of 4GB, my Video card uses 256MB of that, But I'm missing 1GB on a 64Bit OS, even with mapping, I have seen it on other computers too, it's typical for older computers. Your's is 32bit and seems right for a 32bit OS, around 3.25 - 3.5GB the rest is not usable by the operating system, if you have onboard Video your 3.25 and 3.5GB wil shrink to 3.12 and 3.25 respectfully.
