I had the same problem around 100 posts ago. I found this site and asked a similar question and got the same reaction, it's nothing personal, it's like a rite of passage.
I've had my chip in mine for so long now, I can't even remember what it is. (not very useful I know, but it does mean I haven't had any problems in about 2 years since getting it). I think it's a Magic 3, which as you may have noticed is now on issue 7, I think). From memory (I haven't visted this forum for some time), but previously there were two chips dominating the market, one was the Magic, I can't remember the other one. I think there were arguements for both, but both required some careful soldering.
Hopefully someone can tell you what's the best around nowadays, as for installation, save the cash, it's well worth it, it used to be a very tricky procedure. To find someone who can do it , just ask in the forum for recommendations and shop around.
