It seems to be getting harder to find the 512KB SIMMs.   Someone want to run some off using these:

TC524258?

These are the chips the original VRAM are built with, but in a SIP package instead of SOJ.  I'm not sure one could get the SIPs to sit flat enough, but that's a good price on the memory.

Alternatively, I think one could use these (KM4216C256) to build a VRAM SIMM.  These are the chips that were used on the PCI PowerMacs 1MB VRAM SIMMs, but they seem to have the same functionality, just 4 times wider, as the original chips on the 512KB VRAM:
