I was pointed to this one: A25L032-F 
<http://nl.farnell.com/amic/a25l032-f/memory-flash-spi-32m-8dip/dp/1907085>

(There's also a Q version, which I don't think is what I'd want).

Are these good to order a few for?

I haven't found a 64Mbit chip yet, so I hope I could use a linux kernel 
as payload using a 4MB one (the current 32Mbit)
