I use Proteus from Labcenter Electronics for AVR simulations (and all 
other ECAD work.)  They have a lot of AVRs in their library and 
plenty of peripheral devices, such as memory and LCDs.  Being able to 
simulate the micro on the circuit diagram has been a great tool.
It's not too expensive either: http://www.labcenter.co.uk/
