Bus width must be 16bit. So you must use a chip that has 32M*16bit (1byte=8bits, 16bit=2byte, 2byte*32M=64MByte)
Some time ago I did a post where I comment a pretty cheap memory module on Ebay that you can use to mod 8 routers to 64MB:

Swap: 0 0 0and it works now what i have to flash after that?
By the way
is there any mod to get 16 or 32 flash?
i would like to change the flash memory to a bigger. is it possible? what is the maximum amount?
The discussion might have continued from here.
