Yes.. nothing specifically about 'beeps' but ..read on..

Tried that..a couple of times..it involes unplugging from the mains,
removing the battery, change the CMOS jumper for three seconds, move the
jumper back and putting the battery back in...good practise, but makes no
difference!!

Right, I took the stick out and the same beep was there-I've tried it in all
three slots too..so that is a pretty sure fire way of telling me it's a
memory problem...
NOW..see if you follow the logic here..
The memory is of the DDR400 type..I asked the vendor if the board supports
it and he said yes, and indeed the board DOES support it..but, in the manual
it has a table that shows an FSB/DDR support table, and the DDR 400 memory
is only shown as supported if running an FSB at 200 or 266MHz, but the
processor is the Athlon XP2600 running at 333MHz, and the table shows only
DDR333 memory is supported
In other words, I don't think the so called 'better' memory supports the
faster procrssor in this board..which seems rather odd..
