   I haven't looked at the Mega8 specifically, but most AVRs (with 
sufficient pin count) support external memory.  note that external 
memory accesses take twice as many cycles as internal memory cycles, so 
if any of your code is time critical at the operating speed of 
yourprocessor, you'll want to be sure that code is loaded and run in the 
internal FLASH.

   Check www.atmel.com, they offer a line of FLASH and RAM chips which 
can be used thusly.
