Hello,
somebody gave me a chaintech 5IFM Motherboard with an AMD K5 on it. I 
installed it, with the components VGA Card, FDD, HDD and the Serial Ports, 
switched it on and now it is constantly beeping, the screen is black and not
even the bios screen showed. My presumption is, that it is beeping because i 
haven't installed the SIMMS (72pin) since i don't have them yet. I just 
wanted to check if the board is still OK, what do u think ? Are the missing 
SIMMS the cause of that or what else could be the problem 
(I have figuered out which settings to make for the CPU, they are OK i 
presume)

TIA
Jeremy
