microcontroller - Most RAM for an MCU in a DIP package

So far the most RAM laden MCU I have found in a hobbyist friendly DIP package is a dsPIC33FJ128GP802, which has 16KB, and the Parallax Propeller, which has 32KB. But does anyone know of chips with more memory in said packages? This is only for prototyping, I also need surface mount chips for production.

Answer

If you only need the DIP format for prototyping, use some adapter boards and prototype with those. With a steady hand you should be able to solder SOIC and TQFP parts.
