Yup, if smoke comes out, it's dead. Sorry to say.

How did you fit DDR2 memory into a DDR1 board? The number of pins is different!
Either way i'm afraid your board's past it.

unless your board has both ddr & ddr2 slots then when you put the ddr2 ram into the ddr slot, you fried the board & maybe the cpu too.

visual deformations, dark patches/burn marks/warped sections, or if the CPU smells funny (be careful not to confuse this with the smell of burnt silicon from your RAM slots, that will definitely smell if you saw smoke)

if cpu is plugged into new board then if acting eratic or not stable might indicate damaged cpu or not posting at all.
