Good question
Tuor, I think even if Boromir was fully aware of the ring, and what had happened to Isildur, he still would have tried to take it. Boromir's sole purpose in taking the ring was to save Gondor, he thought it would save Gondor, and he thought it wouldn't be able to corrupt a righteous person like himself or a free lord, for example Imrahil.
