I think the DRAM that you need are 44256's, which you can buy from
almost any computer component shop (where you buy your second floppy
drive, serial card, etc).  You also need to look at your current 
set of chips on the VGA card to see what speed is required.  But again,
I could be wrong about the 44256's.  Anyone else care to
comfirm or contradict?
