I have the Executer 2, and am very happy with it, I've only got one disk that doesn't work and I thiknk it's a nuke anyway. I thought of puting a chip in myself but changed my mind as I'm crap at soldering and would have to give myself a severe talking to if I ballsed it up. Basically I think you could fit any chip yourself but if you are not confident with a soldering iron and usually have bits left over when you fix stuff get somebody who's done it before to do it.

Get an Xecuter 3 if you want the latest and greatest chip but an Xecuter 2 will do the job fine although it doesn't have the bells & whistles that the X3 does. I'd also recommend getting a no-solder chip. You just have to buy the screwdrivers and follow some simple guides to install and it's unlikely you'll manage to fuck up. Im a cockfag

Yeah, I have an old matrix no-solder and have not had any problems with it at all... never came since I put it in over a year ago.

the X3 just has more bells and whistles than the older stuff. IT's worth the oney if it's features you want and need.

I THINK I have a version 1.00 Xbox (Bought it in 2001. It didn't have the Xbox Live Slot till some demo cd installed it.) I am sure this means that almost any Chip will work fine if I am mainly only going to play legal, foreign and burned game (I am not dealing with new HDDs and other extras.) Right? So I can get any chip no problem for me? i7 - 2500k 8GB RAM AMD XFire 6950s
