Three Beeps on iMac

[Jim Eddy]

In the past few weeks my iMac (slot load 500mHz snow) has gotten  
flakey. It often refuses to wake from sleep, then on restart will give  
three beeps then go no further. Unplugging the computer, then  
restarting will solve the problem for a while. The kernel panic log in  
Profiler indicates a panic happened, but I can't tell if it is giving  
me any info about why it happened.
An Apple knowledgebase article says for G4 towers, the three beeps  
means a problem with RAM. Is this the same with other machines, such as  
mine. I installed a 2nd 128 Meg chip when I bought the machine a year   
and a half ago, so my thought is to take this out and see if it clears  
up. Hopefully OWC will make a replacement if it turns out to be funky.  
Any OSX chip checking programs available and worthwhile?
