Depends upon your expectations and use, you could always use some Dallas 
Battery RAMs..  heh.

I'm absolutely pleased with what they put together in the LPC2000 
family!  I have twin LPC2000 processors (LPC2106 + LPC2138) on this 
board, along with an SD card.  The board entirely self programs itself 
with 156K from the SD card in less than 18 seconds.  This is using both 
the ISP and IAP conmmands to program the two processors.  The longest 
time, and smallest binary, to program is over the ISP connection betwee 
processors.  While the IAP is doing 112K in less than 2 seconds.

Not too bad in my opinion, considering past experience with older Flash 
technologies.

This is far, far,  better than the older board design this one replaces 
where the end-customer had to contact the factory to get new EPROMs!
