Flashrom is the chip the bios are put on to. The minimum is 256k. Some groups release hacked bios that per say, might have ftp included in it with the aid of an imbedded executable. If something is imbedded in the bios, it will noit likely be a smaller size. That's really the only reason I can think of for larger flashroms.

But, then there are chips that support muliple bios, meaning with a switch, you can make your xbox boot to evolution x, then if you were to flick the switch, it will boot to media x menu, or anything else you want. (I use the hacked MS dashboard. And the bios swich is not the same as the on/off switch). The size of the bios that you can flash in each bank is of course depending on hw larger your bios images are.


And if your looking for something basic, I would definately go for the x-ecuter 2.3 lite (or the lite+ if you cannot solder). You can have 2 512k bios, or 1 1mb bios on it.
