It ain't.
A DSDT can be very system specific. For example, my DSDT has this code:
Code:
OperationRegion (GNVS, SystemMemory, 0x7F697DBC, 0x0100)
But another one (also with 2GB) has this:
Code:
OperationRegion (BIOS, SystemMemory, 0x7F7AE064, 0xFF)
While one with 1GB may have this:
Code:
OperationRegion (BIOS, SystemMemory, 0x3F7AE064, 0xFF)
If you use one with an incorrect memory specification, you could get all sorts of strange symptoms.
So don't share needles, err... DSDT files. Make your own.

Could you please explain to me where those hex numbers are coming from and where, which book or source one can find them. I am not only talking about systemMemory, but there others in any DSDT with some sort of hex addresses.
Thanks
