computer died on me instantly

my 8 year old home pc was chugging along fine until this evening, turned it on (win xp pro, pIII500, 128mb) all looked fine, dialed onto net and then suddenly once connected it crashed.
Absolutly no keyboard/mouse response...i thought...eh windows, you expect it.

Turned it off and on. The fan and everything else turns on, you can hear it has power etc but no image signal being sent to the screen. It then suddenly starts repeatadly beeping (windows beep).

So i assume my RAM has died on me because thats the only thing i can think of. But if anyone has any other ideas, would be greatful...but if u agree its ram, wheres the best place to get some cheap ram (sdram pc100). Only need 128 really.

Thanks in advance.
