FPGA's or PLD's are probably not going to save you any money unless you count on saving significant board space. FPGA's are particularly expensive. By comparing against "loadable" addresses, do you mean permanent stored addresses or changeable address? Anyway, a 24 bit address could be considered two twelve bit words and you could use either two EPROMS (for permanent address comparison) or two RAMS. Store the addresses as two twelve bit words in hi and low RAM/ROM and let the hi RAM/ROM output two of the bits and the lo RAM/ROM output the other two. See what I mean? It'd probably be cheaper than PLD.
