Salvageing Hardware

Can any parts such as memory modules be salvaged for spare parts for a new computer. I am thinking about removing the old memory modules to increase the memory of the new computer. I did this a long time ago, but I forget the details.
One computer is a Dell and the other is a Lenovo.

Depends if they are compatible , some items are backwards compatible , others aren't.

Some that ARE compatible would cause new systems to slow down because they run at a much slower access rate than the newer items would.

There would be much more information about each system needed before anyone could advise , type / speed of RAM in each , etc etc.

Thanks, I will stay away from trouble.
