Why not put 1MB chips on the Amiga mother board?  It *appears* that
the necessary address lines are there; is it because the hardware
graphics/address decoding would be quadruple-mapping the addresses
(meaning the same RAM would appear at every 512K multiple within
the 2M address space [16-bit, of course])?

Otherwise, it would be quite simple and cheap to just replace the
RAM on the mother board!  How about it?
