   The Commdore 64 Ultimate is just a tweaked recreation of the original   
   C64. Great for nostalgia buffs, but not really anything new nor useful   
   in the modern world.   
      
   The Commodore 64x PC is simply a mini-PC stuck inside a C64-shaped   
   case, running Linux, and with a C64 emulator.  The only thing the   
   Commodore 64x it adds to the PC is apparently compatibility with old   
   Commodore peripherals, but then there are very few of those still   
   around anyway, unless you pay out more money to get recreations.   
      
   Either way you can save money by just using an emaultor with your   
   existing PC or Mac.
