Generally they are exatly the same except the 64C went through a couple of
later board revisions that noticibly cut down the chip count and the board
size (and not to mention the production cost too).
One 'bug' that resulted is that the 64C's SID chip was 'fixed' of a clicking
sound when you change volume levels. Unfortunately that 'click' was employed
by some game and sound programmers to play digitized sounds, and without the
'click' those digitized sounds in older 64 games came out either muted or non-existant.

I hooked in a fresh (used) 64C into my BBS couple weeks back and after about
336 hours of continual use, it doesn't seem too noticibly warm. It may be
because the slimmer 64C case is closer to the motherboard.

If you want more info than what I posted, talk to them, as I am more of a
general programmer than a hardware/OS person.
