3 beeps means bad RAM, so it either failed or is the wrong type. Try different RAM and make sure it's Pismo compatible. The red or pink tinge is "normal", in the sense that it's a known problem with the Pismo. It usually goes away immediately or a few minutes after the Pismo has booted. May get worse over time, in the sense that it'll stay pink for longer periods of time after booting. Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
