So what's the most powerful microcontroller you can get in a DIP package?
So far I think it's these:
PIC24FJ64GA002-I/SP (most RAM)
28-pin DIP
8K RAM !
64K Flash
16 MIPS
2 UARTS, 5 Timers, 10-bit ADC, RTCC
dsPIC30F4013-30I/P (fastest)
40-pin DIP
2K RAM
48K Flash
30 MIPS !
12-bit ADC, DSP, 2 UARTS, 5 Timers
What else is out there? Is there anything better? I care most about the
RAM, since anything with 8K or more saves an external chip.

It's a "DIL40 housing - Fits standard 600mil 40 pin sockets" Probably a multitude of similar ARM-on-carrier devices out there, but this one is from http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=263

Thereafter you move to the TQFP packages. The 4013's TQFP package is easy enough to solder as it's a 0.8mm pitch. Perfectly usable for data logging to a FAT partition. If you need more than 8K then you'll just have to become more efficient in how you manage your resources. You can also use some of you 48K of flash RAM (ROM?) on the dsPICs as memory. Just that it's incredibly slow as you're writing to it as an EEPROM. It depends what your application is. What is your application?

It has 128K flash, but light on RAM at 4K. It has some 64bit operand maths opcodes. -jg

Come on Paul, this is a tech group, who are you tring to kid. By the pic on the link, it won't even plug into a DIP socket. Happy Xmas to you too. donald
