From what I've read TI (Texas Instruments) is the only source for 16 megabit
DRAMs.  They are currently only making them for military uses now, with 
commercial production starting this winter.  I wouldn't expect 16 MB SIMMS
to be released, and commercially viable (costing less than four times the
price of 4 MB SIMMS) before next summer at least.  Out now though are 
8 MB SIMMS, but these just contain twice as many chips as 4 MB SIMMS.
