Nooo, strong electronic burning smell...

Voltage & timings plays a very important role here across "all" types of memory modules. In a Dual Channel configuration sometimes one memory module out of the two requires 0.10v higher than the other.

Here this is considered as a fault, but is not a real fault, it just one of the two memory modules require 0.10v extra voltage to operate correctly, but this drives up overall voltage,  when clearly one memory module can operate at a lower voltage than the other. So here if one of the two memory modules requires an extra 0.10v, it is automatically rejected by default.

Here all types of high performance memory modules voltage is kept to a minimum and some will fall back into the JEDEC standard with the same or better performance (speed).      

For Simms, its the timing that is critical & voltage plays a less important role.

Why not get a nice PPC Mac and install MorphOS, setup UAE for the classic stuff to run. I have a perfect system and have it running better than even my CSPPC A3000 ever ran. The plus side is you can pick up a Powerbook and have a fully portable Amiga like experience.

Probably the same reason why I didn't do that in the first place, the hobby to me is about the hardware, not some emulation layer.  I can already run OS4 on FS-UAE, it's much more entertaining for me to play with the direct hardware.

Sorry you are having hardware problems. As to running real hardware over emulation I think many of us are the same. Is it possible in some quantum universe that Amiga programs know when they are being executed on a real Amiga? It just feels better!

Exactly!  I figure it's the same reason I'd much rather have an old 1960's Mustang that I could work on and tweak myself than I would a modern one.

I mean I do have a MiST as well, that is kind of the between real hardware and emulation, and I have tons of emulators as well, but it really isn't the same.

The camp that says 'just run MorphOS, with UAE' never made much sense to me, because I already have plenty of computers that will run UAE.
