[Herts] RE: New Linux PC - POST Problems

[diddyold]

A two tone sound means that the memory or agp card are not seated correctly.

If this still happens after properly seating these items then the memory 
type is incorrect for the motherborad.

I.E probably the correct type but not branded memory....

BTW I will be at the linux meeting showing off Geexbox multimedia linux.
