Diffrent mother board , diffrent towers??

[Amir_kvs]

unfortunatly last night I fried my Amd motherboard in an xp computer by trying to adding a ram while the computer was up and running, anyhow I am trying to replace it with an intel celeron processor would I need a diffrent case or tower or would it just bolt right in there?
Could I have possibly damaged my hard drive as well?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

adding a ram while the computer was up and running...

well that would fry a computer... :haha: If you have a normal sized case it shouldn't need replacing.. but don't go with celeron. they are useless. either go with pentium 4 or amd 64.. :grinthumb
