   The Denise chip has nothing to do with the amount of chip memory in the
system.  The address bus for the chipset is on the Agnus chip, and the other
two chips (Denise and Paula) have no address busses of their own.  With
the old Denise in an A3000, you can still have 2M of chip RAM.   You lose
the new ECS graphics modes and the new genlocking modes, though.
