Basically.... The Magic 3 works in ALL PS2's.....

The Magic 2 was version specific.....

If you are considering getting one of these, might I suggest getting a Messiah 2 instead.... You will be glad you did in the long run.....

I have a 18000 with Magic 2 installed and just wondering if I need to upgrade to a version 3. Will you suggest I switch to a Messiah 2 and take out the Magic 2? Thanx.

If YOU are happy with your Magic 2, then by all means keep it....

But don't take out your Magic 2 just to get a Magic 3 or Messiah 2....

If you are thinking about getting rid of your Magic 2, then YES... Definately get the Messiah 2.....

Maybe a clone... But NO.... A original Messiah 2 is called just that.... The Messiah 2.......

Make sure where you get the chip from also... There are alot of places selling a chip called the Messiah 2 that really isn't a Messiah 2 at all......
