Thanks to catweazle for this one:

You can order 3 free samples each of loads of different IC's including PIC's and memory.

check the following semiconductor manufactors....

www.ti.com (http://www.ti.com)                very very fast shipping, just a couple of days and you have your samples

www.st.com (http://www.st.com)               very fast shipping

www.microchip.com (http://www.microchip.com)     ok, it takes more than two weeks but it works                                       

www.analog.com (http://www.analog.com)         takes some time, too
 
Don't use commercial email adress like  yahoo, web, gmx - accounts, that will not work!
I can say it works really, but do not go over the top ordering samples everywhere.

oh this was a very expensive information, please transfer a lot of money to my pay pal account ;)
