Quick questions, is it bad to continuously switch ram and gpu out of 2 different systems?

Talking strictly software wise, i would not think so as Windows (if you are using it) usually scans for new components. Hardware wise, after a while it could ware the pins on the pci-e/dimm slots

Yeah things like USB are tested for hundreds or thousands of insertions but things like ram slots and PCIe slots are not since they will probably be used only a few times in their life... or so the maker expects.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
