I just ordered a premodded Messiah 2 V9 PS2 from
www.socalmods.com.
I know their dependable, manny seems to know what hes doing

. But he mentioned in the forum (I noticed after I ordered), that due to certain problems, he'll be using Magic V's instead of Messiah 2s. I was wondering, how good of a chip is the Magic V? I'm just looking for a general quality test, do they tend to die early? Tend to not have any problems? I'm just a little curious is all. Thx.
