This is OT but I have seen other postings like it so now it is my turn. I think that I have fried my motherboard by installing my RAM in backwards. I did not have it completely in the socket but I think it was enough to cause damage as I could smell something burn. I am in the middle of senior project and I need to see if I can get back up and running again as quickly as possible. My request is does anyone have a motherboard that will support a 1.2 Gig AMD Athlon CPU with 168 pin DIMMS. I don't know if this is enough info to determine compatability but if anyone has a motherboard that they want to get rid of that this will fit please email me off list at crogers@cox.net . I will be going down to Fry's this evening to see what they have if I don't hear anything before that as I am desperate to get my senior project done. Thanks, Cliff
