This is a problem with more modern SIMMs. This unit has a 4k page refresh,
but Amiga accelerators will only recognise 2k page refresh and as such only
show up as half of their capacity. If you can, take it back and get a
new SIMM from a different manufacturer. An FPM unit would be much better in
the Apollo cards anyway.
