I looked at two boards from two different manufacturers and both contained warnings similiar to this: "You can only install either DDR2 module(s) or DDR3 module(s) on the motherboard; otherwise, the system will not boot up." | |

It totally depends on whether it supports mixed mode, populating DDR2 and DDR3 memory modules simultaneously. I doubt it would fry your ram as I would hope the mobo manufacturer would implement safeguards against this. | |
