Greetings Bruce, The startup chime is meant to indicate that the boot prom has run a quick and dirty memory test on the installed memory and the test has passed. If there isn't a chime the memory didn't pass the test.
Therefor you should obtain a copy of Memtest. Download Memtest The testing setup isn’t terribly complex; I’ve taken the liberty of putting together an installable package which will put the Memtest utility into your /usr/bin/ folder. Memtest is a Unix command-line program that does the memory testing, and is the Mac equivalent of MemTest86.
