my understanding is that in the future it is possible that the newer bios's will be larger. therefore you would need a larger bios memory.

right now the newest bios will fit into 256K, but if the next new bios is larger then you will need a 512K or a 1M and so on.

meaning that it is better to have a X2Pro rather than a X2Lite.

Yes but most people split them down to 256K. Now depending on how your going to flash your chip, you may need to 1mg or a 256k BIOS. Like if you were going to flash your X2Lite using the Ozxchip Method you would need a 1mg, but from EvoX you only need a 256k BIOS.

Now I really don't think we will be seeing any BIOS over 256k for a while, this would only be needed if Microsoft decides to go nuts trying to keep people from modding their XBoxes.
