Magic 5 and Messiah 2 sleep mode

[HotGoblin]

I have two questions:

1. Does magic 5 is an original Magic series modechip?
2. How you turn off the Messiah 2?

The Magic 5 is an original magic product: this one here (http://www.china-magic.com/)

to turn off the messiah2.......press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds

Thanks

Which chip is considered better between the two?
Does DVD9 games works on magic 5?

according to reviews the messiah2 and magic v both are very similar in performance they both boot games from browser and reliably and both can boot dvd9 games.

personally I’ll go with a messiah2......simply because i got screwed first with the magic3 then with magic3.1.......I know the magic v is a totally different product and has gotten good reviews, but i don't think I’ll be buying another magic product anytime soon.
