Alright....thanks for the explanation but it gives me another question to ask.
I'm using an MSI kt4v motherboard, an xp 2400, a 512 stick of Apacer ddr 2700 ram, geforce 4 ti4200, an old maxtor 20gig hdd, burner, floppy, cd drive. I boot it up and get no picture and three beeps from the computer. I thought that meant ram, am I wrong?
Would the board and ram not mix well?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
