Namco system N2 failing to boot.

[antonioad14(TWON)]

Hello again everyone! After all this time My N2 did the beeping thing again 2 days ago and I decided to try it again today and It did it again. I recorded it this time cause I'm curious on what's exactly causing it, because I'm starting to think a ram stick or something is starting to go. It's weird cause everytime it does the beeping a quick turn off and on again will cause it to boot up again normally. But for somereason I noticed that the game runs slightly choppier than it's supposed to when I do this. Then if I boot it again after that it's back to normal again, very weird. But here's the video of the N2 beeping just incase someone is able to recognize what this beeping is supposed to mean:

Its ram

https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#award, the codes here should be accurate as when I had one with a literal burned out CPU I had the high/low alarm tone as described here

You want at least 1GB for the game to run smoothly, dont think single/dual channel matters however faster the better (It can take up to DDR1 400 but idk if it downclocks it to 333)?

Might be worth trying both RAM slots, old boards its not outside the realm of possibility one has a cracked joint
