Check out the small paper back book that came with your computer.
(I think the title is, "Introduction the the Amiga 3000" or some such)
It's at home so I can't check for sure.

There is a lsit of part numbers and manufacture companies.

The same book also gives a pretty good, basic (at least for me)
explaination of the difference between page mode and static column mode 
RAMs. I don't know about VM support requirements.
