Well, yes, all very fine if you live in the US, but 95% of the world
population do not. I fall within that 95%.

The SIMMs I purchased fall within the spec on the knowledgebase, but the
Qube still only sees half the memory on each SIMM. I suspect the Qube can
only use single sided SIMMs. If that is actually the case, it'd be worth
noting in the knowledgebase.
