Some special ones can hold up to 870 MB, but they are fairly rare, and your burner may not be capable of burning them.

There are dual sided cd-r discs, but there really isn't any higher than 700 mb. If you need more space, get a DVD +/- DL super multi recorder and get DVD-Rs.
If you're looking for like 8 gigs, you need DVD-R Dual-Layer or Dual-Side.

there are 800mb cd media everywhere, google it...
You can also overburn if your optical drive supports it (plextor can typically fit 1gb onto a normal cd)

There are 800mb CD's now, but not many companies making them.

700mb is now standard.

quick answer: NO
depending on what you want to put on the CD, there are programs that compress files to let you burn more data than normal.
