What chip is the best for a version 9 ps2?

Your comment on the original apple chip not working with the newer games that where coming out and having to get a newer updated chip is justified. But the chips that are out these days have resolved all those problems, thus once again no need to be promoting the swap mod's. The comment about the loader in my eyes doesn’t justify the promotion of the swap mods either, you still have to swap and even if it’s loaded on the memory card you still have to load it from there. With the no-swap mods you just throw in your back-up and go. No patching, no swapping, no hassles...just great gaming!
