[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1010251, member: 6762"] The startup chime you hear is the machine telling you that it has passed it's initial boot-up hardware checks and that all is well. If you start it and don't hear that sound, it means you have a hardware issue. Windows boxes often beep at you, but a Mac gives you a chime instead. Turning it off removes your ability to tell if you Mac has any hardware issues upon boot up. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chime_(Macintosh[/url]) [/QUOTE]
