New RAM but still get 1 long & 2 short beeps Closed

Question

I was getting one long and two short beeps on startup so I bought two new 512 mb ram cards and I still get the beeps. My motherboard has 4 ram slots so I tried moving the cards around in all the slots but no luck. I even tried just one card in each slot but still got the beeps. My computer has Windows XP, a Pentium 4 processor and 160 gig hard drive. Any ideas of a fix? 



Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0
