i am looking to mod my xbox i am a capable at soldering but was wondering if there is an advantage to a solder one over a no solder and which chip is the best and how can i tell which version mine is also i want to play on xbox live so i would need one that turns off

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".

This is the on right? sorry for all the questions

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. It will save you some money and it won't slip out of place.

oh man they are out of stock do you know of another good site

thanks for the quick responses

not really. Every place i've seen has been out of stock. I have no idea when the next shipments will come.

I used one of these ...
www.modchip.cc

I found some here http://modchipsource.com/ hopefully they are quick and it works

should upgrade my hard drive is there any point in it?

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.

oh sweet looks like i will thanks again i am off to read more on it
what is a good site to find tutorials sorry again for all the question i am sure have been asked a million times

www.xbox-scene.com has a million tutorials.
