I noticed lately that I don't hear a BEEP when I turn on my   
   HP a1430n XP MCE IBM Compatable pc.   
      
   The three LEDs on the Keyboard flash once during POST   
   (Power On Self Test) as the 486 DOS 5.0 box does, but I'm not   
   hearing a BEEP as the 486 does.   
      
   I may be that 'ALL' IBM Compatable computers don't Beep an Error Code   
   on POST anymore.   
      
   I can't remember if my XP box ever BEEPed on POST, but because I   
   started wondering if it ever did, I thought to ask here.   
      
   TIA
