good luck on getting either of those types (128mb or 64mb) of SIMMs to work on your amiga.  Supposedly my A1200's microbiotics card supports such monster SIMMs, but the one time I had one of those to test it, it didn't work, nor did it even fit anyway.  

Far better off to mess around with 32mb FPM SIMMs and call it good.  Remember that you're hard pressed to really even use 32mb on most amigas doing nearly anything, let alone 128MB.  My A2000 webserver for AmigaU in most cases only uses around 2MB ram, leaving the other 62MB mostly idle.....

OK, so cough up - what amithlon machine are you running here, and what's it doing? :) there is NO original amiga out there that can handle 1GB of ram, is there?  Unless one of those prometheus cards has a ram slot or two?  That would be the only way I can think of....

and even assuming that was true, what are you running on an amiga that could be using that much ram anyway?

I think the latter is your culprit - sneaky!

yeah, had the AmiJoe ever really existed in public beyond the proto stage at MetaBOX.  That was really a tragic one, I really wanted one of those cards, but even Dave Haynie couldn't save that one.

as to the 4GB thing, aren't you referring to disk partition size, not RAM?  or is 'memory addressing' and the 4GB limit on OS 3.1 partition sizes the same thing?
