| | Commodore 64 Info |
 | | Sound on the Commodore 64 computer is generated by what is called a Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581, known as SID). | | | The Micro-Processor Unit on the Commodore 64 computer is a MOS Technologies 6510 (MOS 6510). | | | Assembly language "Hello World" program for the MOS6510 |

| | The sound chip, SID, had three channels with several different waveforms, ring modulation and filter capabilities. | | | The cost of building the C64 was estimated at US$135 due to Commodore's vertical integration (Commodore owned MOS Technologies, who made most of the chips), leaving a large margin to work with. | | | Compute/video game and demo programmers quickly learned how to exploit quirks in the VIC II to gain additional capabilities, like making more than 8 sprites appear, and move, simultaneously. |
