[G4] The Occasional Start up chime....

[CJ Scaminaci]

Hey,

I don't know if you know....or if this applies to you...but more often 
than not when you upgrade a CPU that problem occurs. I had the problem 
for a while but it just disappeared.  There is solutions such as 
zapping your PRAM and resetting your CUDA but it wasn't worth it to me 
seeing as its only a minor thing and it doesn't affect the machine.
