Motherboards and RAMJ

good?

You first need to know the type of chip, and which board it's *supposed* to
be able to work properly on.

To do that, try using Google on any identifiers on the RAM sticks - and
check out the specs for the motherboards.
When you've found matches, you can try running memory testers from a DOS
boot - download DocMemory from www.simmtester.com and create the boot disk.
Use this to boot the PC, and run the test overnight to check the RAM
thoroughly.
See what it reports.

Hire a knowledgeble third-party to do it.
N.B. This will not be the least inexpensive way to do it.

Create a grid/table with the m/b's on the ordinate and the ram chips on the
abcissa, and check all possible combinations.
