Best mod for new V9

[redgamma]

hey all, I'm a newb when it comes to PS2...just picked one up a couple days ago.

when you refer to the "new" v9, does that include ALL models for that series? The retail packaging shows mine as a 50001/N/97016, but the side of the system is labelled as 50010/N. This one is the bundle box with NIC, game etc...

as far as I can tell, modchip.com carries a DMS3 v2 chip that "might" work on this system. if anyone can shed any more light on which chip I should be looking at, where it can be found, and if there is any soldering required.

finally, if someone knows of an installer based in Toronto/Canada region, please share!

thanks for any response posts.
