About 15 years ago a friend of mine fried a motherboard and the new memory he bought for it. He told me he put the memory in backwards. I never understood how he managed that. The notch in the simm wasn't in the center. It could only fit one way.

If you get ddr2 memory into a ddr3 slot, you already broke it. It will not fit due to the slot placement.

    If you get ddr 2 in ddr 3 slots yes given voltage pins are in the
    wrong place. But wrong timing will just be a non post.

        If you put the wrong memory in a motherboard, aren't you
        running the risk of frying the motherboard, memory or both?

            I have a mystery motherboard with what I believe is a
            Intel Nehalem server cpu.
            I think the type of memory I need is PC3-10600 DDR3
            1333MHz ECC memory.
            The board seems to have a A, B, and C memory channel from
            what I can see on the motherboard.
            I believe I can either put two identical DIMMs in with
            one in channel A slot 0 and the other in channel B slot 0
            or I can I think I can put three identical DIMMs in slot
            0 of all three channels.

            I have tried PC3-10600 DDR3 Non-ECC DIMMs but I did not
            get any video,

            Before I go out and purchase some new memory does anyone
            have any spare PC3-10600 ECC memory DIMMs they could
            bring to a PLUG meeting so I can try to see if that is
            the correct memory before I purchase new DIMMs?
