I'm looking to order a couple 65C816s from WDC. What are the differences between the W65C816S8P-14 ($6.18) and the W65C816S8PG-14 ($7.87)?

I was thinking about ordering the chips from Jameco, since they offered it in the August 2005 catalog, but it's missing in the November 2005 catalog.

I think one is plastic, and the other is ceramic? I don't have the datasheets in front of me (I'm currently at work -- sssh!), so I can't recall off-hand.

That's ok, I found out the difference, it's described here. The G means the part is "Green", and complies with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive.
