that's what i thought. both the 3xp and the 3gx should be able to support 128MB
total, but the 64MB SIMMS that Tadpole used had a special chip configuration to
make it look like 4 32MB SIMMS (IIRC - I haven't delved into this for a while),
since the processor itself doesn't support more than 32MB individual SIMMs.
