Probably normal. Everytime I boot up my computer it goes *BEEP*
When I don't hear the beep, it's because the PC couldn't boot.
Also, I remember playing a old DOS game on another computer that didn't have sound boxes, and the game sound was composed of the beeps caused by the CPU.

I agree with the above poster. Was the computer originally an XP? Or did your uncle make it into one?

And what company is your computer from?
Your computer OS shouldn't change what makes those beeps at start up. It varies from computer to computer depending on the BIOS chip inside.
Don't be alarmed at the two beeps that happen when you initially boot up your computer. Those sounds represent the internal BIOS chip in your computer is starting up. After which, your computer should go through it's normal boot process. If the internal BIOS chip didn't make those sounds, something might be bad and your computer might have trouble booting its OS.

It's Mr. Computer!
Actually, the beeps refer to different error codes. One beep usually means the system started up properly, and anything else indicates some error.
Unfortunately, the codes depend on which BIOS you're using. You should contact your computer/motherboard manufacturer (they usually have the information in their knowledge base) in order to find out what they are.

Don't use color text unless it's absolutely necessary. I can barely read that text without highlighting it due to slight colorblindness.
Service Pack 3 is the "vista"-esque security fix for XP, and is a rollup package of 1 and 2. Not 2.
Honestly, unless it's actually interfering with the standard start up process there's most likely nothing wrong. You should be using Vista the majority of the time anyway; XP's weak security and poor userspace design is really starting to shine.
