2 Beeps on Startup

Question

Hello,  I'm trying to help a friend get her computer fixed and I'm unsure of the error implications. It beeps twice on startup indicating the RAM is not recognised and I have re-seated the RAM and tried each one individually without success. I'm basically just wondering if this implies it is a problem with the motherboard (because it seems unlikely both RAM chips would fail simultaneously) or whether it is possible that it is simply the RAM and she should try buying some more? Any comments and advice will be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I was writing in a hurry and just realised I hadn't supplied some other information - the laptop model is an Inspiron 1546 running Windows 7.
