The only SPI flash memory that really matters is U8700, the BootROM. Use the search and learn about it, no need to re-write it again here.

SPI flashes UB301 and UB201, near the right corner, over and underside of the board, are for the firmwares of the two Intel Ethernet controllers. These two don't affect boot ability.

UC650 is SMC related, I think that this flash is where the SMC keys are stored, it's a AT24C512B.
