Might have fried RAM?

Ok... so i ran down to Wally World and bought some Kingston RAM 2gb stick 667mhz 240 pin and my motherboard only supports 184 pin 400 mhz. So when I put it on the mobo i smelt fried components and the ram had some burn spots on the pins. So i was wondering if i could still use the RAM. The MOBO is toast.

Your mistake was that you bought RAM from Wal-Mart.

Reply:Take it to your local shop and have it tested. I wouldn't stick it in a new mobo without it being tested.
Reply:you bought the wrong KIND of RAM DDR vs. DDR2





Since the pins are physically wider and in different locations and also use different voltages and have the v+ in different locations, it's likely that you fried both.





The only way to tell is to take out the RAM and try turning on your machine with the old ram in it.
Reply:You should have checked the specs first. If you have a 184 pin RAM slot, don't buy 240 pin RAM. That should be a given.
