I'm not sure what that website is actually displaying.
Edit: what i do know is that corsair claims that the ram is compatible.

its DDR1 pretty sure its gonna need atleast 2.5-2.6v

Heh didn't notice that. It's almost 4AM and I'm almost brain dead. Thanks for pointing it out

I'll try the voltages tomorrow.... reinstalling windows now because it "failed to activate" to the new motherboard even after i installed the network drivers in safe mode.... god i hate Microsoft. Cheapest, most overly protective, most wasteful, most greedy, most successful business that ever did exist.

TheCanadian, typical Phoenix BIOS beep codes are poly-tonic (i.e., never just a single beep, but multiple beeps), according to most sources I've seen whilst researching your issue. So I did a search under "Award BIOS beep code" (because, per this review, your board has a Phoenix-AwardBIOS), and per that search parameter, Award BIOSes have basically one beep code (1 long, two short, indicating a video problem); any other beeps, in whatever combination, would indicate a RAM problem of some sort.
(This confirms DIRTYDUCK's findings, incidentally.)
Here is a representative source with the Award BIOS beep code information.
Sometimes it's a simple matter of the DIMM not being inserted correctly in the DIMM slot.
I would also check the DIMM slots for any foreign objects that might be preventing proper operation. If you had a way to blow compressed air into the DIMM slot (don't tilt a can of compressed air and blow into the slot; this will cause some liquified gas emissions) which would dislodge any foreign objects or dust particles, this would be the best way.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
