I just got the new 2.2 GHZ Black book from Apple site
And I got 2 x 2GB RAM stick fromt his site http://www.buy.com/prod/Kingston-2G...M-DDR2-Laptop-Memory/q/loc/101/206341199.html

After I installed the memory properly, meaning i fully pushed it into place and closed it. As I boot my computer, it nothing would come up on the monitor, and the blue flash on the right corner would flash and starts theses beeping sounds

I thought the new Macbook could support up to 4gb of RAM?
Help please!!

Edit: I tried putting the old 2 x 512 memory in and it worked so what's the problem?!

Have you tried each RAM module on its own?
 
I'm not familiar what the screens and beeps mean, but my guess would be a bad stick of memory, which happens.

You could test by installing each separately.

You don't have to have both slots full to run the computer; You only get a slight speed boost from doing so.

So try your new 2GB sticks one at a time. Use the computer for a while when testing each, and if you have access to a memory test app, use it. Remember: Memory problems aren't always instantaneous or obvious.

This really sounds like one of your two modules is defective. Your manufacturer (Kingston) will get you a replacement.
