I would advise that you try to get exactly the same type of zip chip that is already on the board.  I don't mean brand, but speed and page/static.  You do NOT want to mix those types of ram.  

What is the number on them.  You can figure out what they are with that number.

1Mx4 Zip RAM means that 1 chip is 4Mbits or 512kbytes.

4 chips would be 2Mbytes.

16 * 4Mbits = 16Mbytes.

I have a feeling you are going to need page mode ram for those.

Generally if the number ends in 00, they are page mode... and if it is 02 they are static.

Most likely you have something that ends in 4400
