You seek places like utsource or contact some actual parts broker. Ebay prices are always very inflated.

Just a quick follow-up about the memory expansion.
After you suggestion, i ordered chips from utsource. The shipping was quite fast.
Unfortunately, i was quite busy recently and could not update this post.

Everything works great !
Unlike me, be sure to press the chips in the socket to the maximum. At first, i was hesitant to force. But the memory was not recognized. It worked only after i pushed the chips all the way down, and it requires to force quite a bit against a flat surface.

DOS and Windows both see the 2Mb now, and i'm able to push the resolutions up with better color depth.
Great !

Thank you very much for your help !

Can you please indicate the part number you ordered on that e-commerce site? thanks
