There are 2MB SIMS out there, but they are not for standard pcs.  The IBM 80
series uses 2MB SIM sets in their expansion boards.   It is basically 2 sets
of 9 mounted based to base on a small module that plugs into one of 4 slots on
the exp board.  list is about $1400 - real world pricing just under $1k.
