Same thing here on my T23.  First time I installed the 512mb of memory 
in the doorway, perhaps I felt rather challenged or afraid :)  Fact is, 
it was not seating in the holder completely so when the t23 booted it 
complained loudly by beeping.

You may want to open things back up and reseat the memory.
