You can ignore the letters before the 74, they´re different from every manufacturer. The letters after the number mostly tell about the package, ROHS conform etc. D or N is often DIP. Just make sure that you get a 74HC14 and that it is in DIP package. Manufacturer and other parameters are not important.

First google hit for "DIP package" is correct. In fact the whole first page is! I don't mean to seem rude, honestly, but it seems like you didn't even try? Everyone here is happy to help but you should show some initiative to encourage us :)

A bit of reading for you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_in-line_package

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-Outline_Integrated_Circuit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-hole_technology

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-mount_technology

The usual IC package for home use is DIP (PDIP), which is the common package type with Through-Hole-Technology. Also the boards from Smash/Mike are using them. So you want DIP!

I didn´t say that the letters after the 74HC14 don´t count, just that they have different meaning regarding package type and other version info. The MC from your suggested chip means they´re from Motorola or ONSemi. Google for MC74HC14AD -

first hit: http://www.chipdocs.com/datasheets/datasheet-pdf/Motorola/MC54HC14.html (Motorola)

second hit: http://www.chipdocs.com/datasheets/datasheet-pdf/ON-Semiconductor/MC74HC14.html (ONSemi)

There you see that the type you suggest is SOIC package and PDIP is MC74HC14AN (from both Motorola or ONSemi).

I can be a tangle sometimes :) But really you should get on google, and have a look around. Wikipedia will help a lot (edit: beaten!)
