The reason 64 chips are needed for 2 meg is because a 256K chip is
because a chip is measured in bits, not bytes.  Therefore:

 2048K (bytes) / (256K (bits) / 8 (bits per byte)) = 64 chips

I recently purchased the Micron 2 board with 2 megs for $379 from
Creative Computers (see page 86, June 88, AmigaWorld).  This seems
like a very good deal.  Almost $100 cheaper most places I called.
Go Amiga has is advertised for $399.  The lowest price anywhere else
was $460.  I bought the A2000 version to use in my Subsystem on my A500
The A1000/A500 versions are slightly more expensive because they need
an expansion chassis and power supply.  I do think you have to tell them
you saw the advertisement for it, otherwise it will be $399.
  It seems to be a very dependable board.  Micron bought out the ASDG
board, then upgraded it (faster refresh rate) and are now marketing it
themselves.
