do you have a good place I can get some sockets?
a 1M X 4bit is this a 4M by using 4 chip?
I have a card with 768k 4chipsX6chips.
if I replace chips with 1M X 4bit chips will this card with 24 chips make it = 96M ?

I usually buy the socket in a local electronics store. If that is not an option for you, I would try ebay.
1Mx4 is 1MByte for every 2 chips (1 byte is 8bits so 8Mbit = 1MByte). For a 4MBytes card you need a total of 8 chips.
If the card is for the IIgs, I am pretty sure it will not work as an unmodified the IIgs can address a maximum of 8MBytes of RAM.
