    If you have a valid reason for putting the RAM into the XBOX, go for it.  From what I’ve read, though, this only comes in handy if you’re running emulators on it and I don’t know that the memory is compatible.

    If you were really asking about the computers (which I think you were), then the question is whether you’ve seen any slowdowns which seem to be memory-related.  If not, then considering that WHS v2 (Vail) will be 64-bit, I’d probably put the RAM into the WHS box.  2GB for a server doesn’t seem like much to me and you’re going to be adding to the load on it.

    Also, while I’m sure you know this, but I want to just put it out there that you shouldn’t mix different speeds in a single computer.  Not sure if that will play any role or not.
