But that 20k is all you ever need on x86 machines. the 150k are still useful for non-x86 platforms out there where 150k of flash are probably cheaper than buying hardware that is reported to work without option rom. Most non-x86 platforms come with bigger eeproms than average x86 machines anyways. Gzip on testbios (full blown x86emu + bios support code) shrinks the size from 150k down to 53k here.
