Hi, I was wondering whats the best No Swap, easy to install Modchip that works on all versions =) I was thinking maybe the Magic 3.1, as they are cheap.

Also when buying a DVD burner me and my friends were thinking of pitching in and getting a Pine Pioneer USB 2.0 External DVD-RW Drive. That way we can move it from house to house when we need it. will this drive get the job done of burning games?
If not can someone recommend a good failry non expensive drive to burn games. (doesnt have to be external but would help)

and as for media whats the best to use?

Thanks.
