Maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds like you want a big SRAM chip.

There is a Toshiba 512Kx8 SRAM at Digi-Key (Part# TC554001FL-70-ND) for $35 and
some change.  It matches your requirements.  Two of `em would give you a meg and
four would give you...

But if you don't need random access you might think about a FIFO instead.

Just my opinion -- YMMV.
