Generally, solder chips are better (all the chips that are no-solders can also be soldered). If you use a nosolder, or choose to not solder a chip, then it might slip out of place. Most chips that aren't soldered have to be re-aligned every now and then.

To play on XBL, you do need an on/off switch or you will be banned...perminately

I suggest you get the X2-lite, it is preflashed, is a solder chip (but has an add-on that costs extra to make it a no-solder), and works with all versions of xbox. If you want to see what version your xbox is, go to www.xbox-scene.com . There is a link near the top to a "version guide".

yah, that chip is great. That includes the pogo-pin adapter, which makes it a no-solder chip (and adds about $15 to the cost).

If you can solder and are confident in soldering the xbox, I suggest you get the solder chip here (http://shop.system-mods.com/product.asp?0=204&1=206&3=9). It will save you some money and it won't slip out of place.

well, if you upgrade your HDD, then you don't have to lug around any dvd's (until it is filled). You can run the games off your HDD, And emulators/apps.
