Used processor, motherboard beeping before I turn the power on

I have a FIC k7mnf-64 with an Athlon 1800+ processor in it. I bought a used 2800+ 333mhz and put it in today.

Immediately after I connected the computer's power cable the motherboard started beeping and a red light on the motherboard came on. The beep's were LONGlongLONGlong so alternating long beeps. I looked the beeps up.

I have an "Award-Phoenix" bios (does that make sense at all?). I could not find any info related to what the beep issue was. I could not turn on the power, the motherboard would not allow it with that processor in.

I cleared the CMOS, upgraded the bios and still that did not fix the problem.

Any ideas? Is the processor dead?

Agreed. Back then, each different cpu revision had to be supported by the motherboard. And with an FIC motherboard, it's almost a certainty, unless the BIOS that you installed said it supported whichever type of XP 2800 that you bought.
 
the 2800+ is a "axda2800kv4d".

which makes it a barton socketA 2800+ 333mhz?

I have pc2700 RAM by the way.

Here's the CPU's my motherboard supports. It should be supported right?
