Frankenstein computer?

I own two old computers surrounded by my room that alone do nothing. One have only a 200 MHz processor and 256 MB of RAM. The other have an 800 MHz processor but only have 156 MB of RAM. I want to take the RAM out of the computer next to the crap processor and replace the RAM in the computer beside the better processor with it. Also I want to install Ubuntu on a USB portable harddrive because the internal harddrives on both are highly loud. I am going to be using it for skype conversations in a podcast so I want as little environment noise as posible. Is adjectives this posible. I know i can use Ubuntu on a USB drive but I don't know if it is posible to compleatly replace the RAM, all I've ever done is put a strange stick of it in.

It depends on what RAM both PCs use. Normally you won't know how to stick the wrong RAM into a slot, as all RAM sticks own a notch that have to fit on the slot.

So give it a try. As long as you don't push it next to excessive force, you cannot damage anything.
