I put in eight matched 512MB ram chips, a new hard drive, a new optical drive, and have run the Apple Service Diagnostic over 20 times, and it passed them all. Now, I just started it up, it beeped once, then proceeded with normal booting. All the ram is recognized.
A single beep (not the normal bong) indicates that there is a problem with one of the sticks of memory. Try resetting the PMU. Try reseating the DIMMs. Try putting them in indifferent slots. Try putting fewer in, etc.
ObQuip: Memory comes in DIMM *sticks*. The individual integrated circuits (ICs) **on** the sticks are the chips. So calling the whole thing a "chip" is incorrect... Please call them either a DIMM or a Stick.
