Örgs!
I use the Atmel AT91SAM9263 with attached 4" TFT Display (480x272) in
many applications, but I would not try to use it with less then 64 MByte
of memory and a NAND Flash of at least 256 MB.
I prefer to use 128 MB of memory and 512 MByte NAND Flash, because I can
then use a standard EmDebian installation (not Crunch or Grip).
Also Buying a reel of 2500 µC, 10.000 SDRAM Chips and 2500 NAND Flash
drop the price, but of course, not to 5 US$. Maybe if I add 00 to the
pcs. :-D

if your mC can boot from it, why not...
I prefer NAND, because it is MUCH faster even in 8bit mode

Do you know: <http://www.emdebian.org/>
You can even have ANY packages available in the standard Debian
Distribution, some of them require recompiling, but it IS possibel.
