Greetings, Unfortunatly, on the older boards, it's physically impossible to have more than a 4Mbit flash (many boards are limited to 2Mbit) because of not enough address lines. The DoC gets around that by being able to page in bits of the ROM kind of like EMM from the bad old days.
Newer boards that use LPC or Firmware Hub flashes usually come with 4 or 8Mbit and can (in theory) accept up to 32Mbit. In practice, the chipsets may impose limits on that.
