if you install a ddr3 ram on a ddr2 motherboard that like can only take ddr2 what happends?
will it blow up??? or its ok?

nothing will happen, or you'll snap the chips or DIMM slots. The physical slot is different, and DDR3 and DDR2 are incompatible, though there are some boards that have both DIMMs - but you cant use both DDR3 and DDR2 at the same time even in that case to the best of my knowledge.

why not? if you do have for example ddr2 and ddr3 what will happend or its just not ganna fit in?

DDR3 has a different key notch location than DDR2 - so simply put, it just wont fit.

I have a question. I have this exact same motherboard. I have one piece of ram. lol. I am poor. Anyway ... I have it in the yellow. What is the difference between yellow and the other color bays? thank you

in this boards situation, the dimms start out on the yellow and progress as Dim A1, B1, A2, B2... and also supports one pair of modules inserted into both yellow slots as one pair of dual channel. So basically, consider them your primary slots aka use them first.
