Hi melott,

You can only have a maximum of 8 megs of memory on the Zorro II bus.  The 32-bit memory on the A2630 is on the Zorro II bus, so that is 2 megs already (it is the first memory that the Amiga 2000 sees).  If you want faster SCSI hard disk access, then yes install the 2 megs onto the A2091 board.  You will need 16 - 44256 DRAMs.  So now that is 4 megs of memory on the Zorro II bus.  Remove the Bridgeboard (if there is one) and install only 2 megs onto the SupraRAM board.  You will need 16 - 1M X 1 DRAMs.  So now that is 6 megs of memory on the Zorro II bus.  A video board will use the remaining 2 megs of Zorro II bus space (a 1 or 2 meg board).  STAY AWAY from 4 meg video boards.  My advice:  Remove the A2091 and A2630 boards and install a GVP Combo Board or a Blizzard Combo board.     :-)
My favorite TV shows:  Star Trek Voyager, Forever Knight, Stargate SG1, Married with Children, As Time Goes By, Mr. Bean, Smallville, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Xena
