well if it is free...

I am willing to do an impartial review - but do personally object to the miss use of the apple name when it is not an apple chip....

My only concern with these chips is like with the XBOX chips - dry joints are hard to spot when you directly solder a board to vias - if it can occur with the huge LPC vias on the xbox then this appears like it could be a major concern with the tiny vias on the PS2. (I have reverted to using pin headers for the xbox to avoid this problem)

The other thing I would like to review it for is whether it actually represents a time saving when you take into account the fact that you need to scrape back every via first else you wont get a working connection.

The bios connections have always been the easiest points on the V9s - the vias however are not so easy due to the thickness of conformal coating present on some boards.
