www.thechipmerchant.com used to have a web page with all this information
on it, it was extremely useful. But I havent been able to find that
page for about a year now.

They had the chips listed in tables by manufacturer and chip number, and
then listed the number of bits of ram in that chip, for example 1Mx4

If someone still has this information, please pass it along.
