   No de/soldering needed.   
   I assume that you are talking about SID.   
   Most SID chips are socketed.   
   But the Ultimate 64 SID emulation is great, and I did not populate the SID   
   sockets on the U64. (SID chip is still in the mainboard that I removed from   
   the case)   
      
   In regard to keeping it original, well for me personally the U64 is the better   
   choice.   
   HDMI out, normal 9V DC power brick.   
   Everything operational as on a normal C64 + built in 1541U.
