A bit more info as always is helpfull :-).. Does it beep continues until you reboot? what do you do with your computer b4 it starts to beep (if anything)?, Will it just start beeping right after startup? or is it beeping durring post?

Does it beep when Dinner is ready? because if it does then that's just cool :-).

What kind of beeps are these? (long, short etc). Also helps to know the hardware involved

the beeps are pretty short and they happen just when im using my computer like i normally would. i hav programs loaded like flash fxp, msn, firefox and winamp

Hard to tell wether you meant you'd have all these programs opened at once in your example :-) If so then purhaps your just stressing your system a bit. Also for your system I would recommend 512mb's of ram because I think that 256 is bare requirements for the os and the applications you are trying to run.

Still strange that your system beeps without error message popups which tells me it's all hardware related so purhapes you should check er all over to make sure all is plugged in and seated correctly although I doubt very much that would be the problem or else you'd most likely have larger problems then just beeps ;-).

How much do u think another 256MB of Ram would cost (UK)??

It really depends on where you purchase it I suppose but check local computer shops. I'm in Canada myself and could only quote Canadian Prices from the top of my head but I can find a stick in a local shope for around $45 Canadian dollers (depending on Manufacturer)

Edit:

Try to pair up the sticks the best you can. And although I dunno if this would fix your beeping problems and probably wont I just suggested the upgrade as You really need at least 512mb's for the things your using your machine for.

Im thinking of getting 512MB of Ram
