I wouldn't hold my breath for a cheap board with 8Mbytes of memory in
the form of 1 Meg chips. Such a board would require 64 of the beasts
and with the cheapest currently going for > $80 a pop you will spend
over $5k! It took more than a year for 256k chips to drop from the 
production $80 - $100 prices (the 1 Megs quoted now are probably loss
leader samples) to the $20 - $30 range. Dropping below $20 required
the help of our Japanese friends who are not above dumping.
