I had not stuck my nose into this one, because I thought I had nothing to
say (but of course that's wrong ;^).  However, there are several more or
less standard 2 Mb SIMMs (18 1 megabit chips), the most common being the one
used in the IBM PS/2 model 70 (I believe).

And at Uniforum I saw the guts of the new DG 88000 based workstation which
uses 4 Megabyte SIMMs for its memory (here, because they use ECC rather than
parity, the module has 44 RAM chips on it rather than 36 or 32).  The RAM
chips are mounted ALL OVER THE THING, both sides!).
