Hi All, which µcontroller can have memory, output to LCD,Speaker,Stepper motor and PWM ?

I need please a name of one microcontroller with the following features:
- memory
-output signal to a display (LCD)
-output signal to speaker
-output signal to motor ( I don't know between stepper motor or servos motor which is appropriate?)
-PWM (puls width modulation) feature for stepper motor.

Thank you in advance.

Picaxe would be easier and do all that

PIC still need interfaces.

The Picaxe will do all of those directly from the PIC apart from driving the motor/stepper motor for which you may want to lookup H bridge - L293D would do for small motors.

PIC, 89C51, Atmega. Pretty well all of them;
HOW is another matter.

+1. That's all just a matter of designing interface circuitry and software to talk to it... or finding and adopting or adapting existing designs, many of which should be easy to find in the users' group discussions for that particular microcontroller family.

LCD is likely to be the most difficult, unless the LCD has some smarts of its own or is a very simple one.

Thankfully serial lcd modules these days are cheap and only need 4 connections.

That's assuming the question is about a small text LCD, not something laptopish... but for a microcontroller, this is probably a good assumption.

indeed; good catch :)
