How many beeps? Not all startup beeps mean you need to replace memory. If you get 3 beeps repeated then you may have bad memory. Please see the following:
Just 1 beep then a long pause then it beeps again no blinking light I changed video card a year ago and use el capitain
The article suggests bad RAM, but the pause is too long for that, so I'd say there is some other problem such as trying to startup from an OS X version that isn't able to work with that computer model. If it is the RAM there may be an ECC error. You could try removing one module at a time to see if the problem ceases.
Mac Pro desktop?
or MacBook Pro notebook?
only Desktop computers with Xeon Processor use ECC memory and contain the error-checking logic.
