3 beeps at startup means bad RAM or possible bad MLB. Best course of action see if you can find another stick of RAM to test in the machine that matches the specs.

i went a bit on the hardcore part on the onboard RAM. I have replaced at first the ram stick, that was a no go, i have replaced the on board rams X4, still a no go. i'm gonna have to say that it is the "Bios" chip that is gone. Not sure which one is the actual Bios "SMC" chip. I do have some spare boards around to fool around and try to pin point the cause of the 3 beeps.
