well 3 beeps if its ami bios means base 64k ram failure
sorry dont know how to correct it but i would remove memory clean edges and chck tha there no ?dust fluff in the board mem housing slot
the on boot up go straight to bios cmos and load defaualts and see if there is a setting to change to suit your new memory oh and of course check a cuple of memory sites to make sure the mem is compatible with yooour motheeboard

just a newbie but may be worth a try bfore the big guyz come with all the hitech answrs
