I thought this was for personal use. The way your going about it sounds like the right way to go. If these are going into production you should heatsink if you want to guarantee the end user of a durable and robust product. A hotter running chip will have a shortened life and statistically this may result in higher returns. Also if you decide to use the chip alone, burns could result. Excuse the pun, but this would be uncool!  A heatsink would reduce the operating temperature, and as such, the burn hazard would be greatly mitigated. If you intend on using an enclosure be sure to include vent holes/slats, preferably the ones that are aimed downward to help reduce liquid or solid contamination.

Well, by "production", I mean getting a PCB made for me.  hehehe

Seriously, I am building/designing my own computer and I want it to be as professional as possible.  I will add the heatsink when it's done.

Thanks for the tip.  I honestly might just use ASM for everything.  I am pretty good at it and about the only thing SX/B gives "ME" that I can't easily do in ASM is SOUND, FREQOUT, etc.
