That's one of the successors to the 18F452, and does have a internal oscillator. Personally I think the 40 pin DIP package is very klunky and a pain to use. I would get a handful of 18F2620 for general hobby use. These have 28 pins with the DIP package .3" wide, but are otherwise the same part as the 18F4620. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
