PS2 vs the Box

[JackStar]

Looks like i will keep my PS2. But was thinking of geting a better chip in it as i hear there are same that dont need a boot disk befor u put in the game. How hard is it to take out old chip and put in new one?

BTW i think all this copying thing is not for me. I have tryed a lot of things and never got a good copy of a PS2 or a DVD. Its just a bit over my head (but yes i do know how to back up same CD's) LOL. Can same one tell me how to set up my PC so i can get a working backup?

I have a:
Athlon XP 2200+
785.904 Ram (dont know what the 904 is but it says it like that in system properties)
Win2K Pro (thinking of going to XP again soon but dont know)
60 gb and 80 gb hard drives
DVD Rom and a Pioneer A05 DVD-R/DVD-RW

Is there any thing i need to do to my PC or the setings of it to fix this or is it just me?

PLZ help if u can. Ask if u need more info.
