Now I need help, my machine has Pm49FL004 chips as standard, I have some Pm49FL008 too.
I want a 32 M Bit flash chip, if there is such a thing for this type of chip, please let me know the part number. (I would much appreciate the exact detail, as the supplier asks incomprehensible questions)
Can you tell us more about your mainboard chipset? The Pm49FL004 can do LPC and FWH, but a board only needs one of them.
I thought I had seen some data sheets for 32 Mbit chips, but it seems they all were SPI and not FWH/LPC.

The chip set is NVidia, exactly the same as a Gigabyte M57SLI,
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 dual core Nvidea MCP55 ITE IT8716F PMC Pm49FL004
The board is a DFI Infinity NF570, and I have done a little tutorial on it, (the code changes from M57SLI to NF570 are trivial)

I have no real knowledge of BIOS chips, and the handbook just describes the "Award BIOS" as though this is all you need to know. At my stage of learning I just do not know about "SPI and not FWH/LPC", (yet).
If I know exactly what to order, I can probably get them, but anything with 49FL in it just comes in 4M bit or 8M Bit.
