you just have to launch the IIe's self test : hold down control, open
apple, closed apple, and reset at launch.
If every ram are good, it says after a while : "system OK"
If a chip is dead, it will display a message like :
 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

which means that the ram number 2 (since the let side of the
motherboard) is dead.
Look out for the FAQ, it is very well explained.

yes, me for example. I replaced all rams with PC ones ;-)
As the mother board was out of the case, I give it a new couch of
varnish (for protection of printed board), so that I won't have problems
in the next 20 years :-)
