If you're getting continuous beeps when starting up, you have a RAM error. Try each stick separate, they may not match.
You also may have them installed in a mismatch order. Check your manual for suggested order for dimm's.
(ie 1GB module in 1st slot then 256MB module in the second slot)

> I have a Dell Dimension 2400 and have tried to install a 1GB SDRAM PC2700 DIMM but the system will not boot. My friend also has a Dimension 2400 which is running a 1GB DIMM plus a 256MB DIMM with no problem. Why?
