Modchip FAQS and Installers

[Cyber Akuma]

Ok, so according to all the FAQS I have been reading, the best chip seems to be a messiah, but from what I heard last (please correct me if I am wrong) these are rare and expensive because operation was halted

The second best choice seems to be the Magic 3.1

So, is there anything this chip cant boot? What about the messiah? Does anyone know if these chips can mess up the way the HDD works or games that use it work? (FFXI for example)

And finally, I have bene googling for hours but cant find a decent PS2 modchip installer, can anyone give me any help?

Edit: And one final thing, whats this I have been hearing about Clip Kits? Do they make modchips solderless or something or just reduce the number of wires? Do they affect the functionality of the modchip if I use one?

Thanks
