I've heard that, though I've also heard they were more reliable (9v HMOS

of chiptune artists prefer the older 6581 to the newer 8580. If you're
into chiptunes, this site has MP3s of recordings of thousands of tunes,
each running on two revisions of the 6581 and also the 8580 for
comparison.
What site? :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
Are
there any other hardware differences that you're aware of? Does
it run the same SUPER AWESOME AMAZINGLY ADVANCED BASIC (sorry Liam, I
couldn't resist! ;)) that the "ordinary" 64 runs?
"Super Awesome" is not exactly how'd I'd describe BASIC 2.0 .......
Major difference is with the SID chip - the new SIDs aren't as good as the
older ones (sound-wise). The PC board is also mostly all surface mount and
with a reduced chip count. Apart from that, largely the same as the old
breadboxes.
