Yeah, that'll be a bad processor. You can try reseating it to see what happens; if that's no joy then you're probably just looking at swapping that sucker out.
On the plus side, after four years it's probably time for an upgrade. You may be able to find a new processor second-hand for dirt cheap, depending on your setup. The socket A Athlons, for example, are all over the freakin' place.
Do you know what model board you have? I've heard beep codes quite a few times in my career, but the digitized voice is new to me.
