Take out the RAM and see if you get the same kind of beeps you are currently hearing.
If you do then the RAM is bad.

Heres what was said on the ASUS site forum about the AM2 cpu s


But keep clear of CPU's with odd numbered multipliers such as the 4200+. 4400+, and 5000+. The odd multi's will cause your RAM to run lower than stock speeds due to the internal memory divisor. Stick with even multi's, the 3800+, 4000+, 4600+, & 4800+,

this is only true if you have ddr2-800 and dont plan to overclock, my rams rated at 533 4-4-4-12 at "stock" setting, but as you can see its at 805 with 5-5-4-8 1t rock stable at 2.8gz :)
