What's Best Chip for V3 ps2

I really wanted to install the Magic 2 chip, cuz it boots everything directly, but I like to use gameshark and I've been reading that this chip is not really friendly with gameshark.
So any suggestions?

Also I saw this on a website- http://www.ps2modchip.com/playstation2.php -

"PS2 Magic 3 Modchip No-Swap Modchip V3 for Scph-30001 Bio 020 , Scph-30002 & Scph-30004 (USA/PAL)"

I got a v3 Scph-30001 ps2, but I don't know what the hell "Bio 020" means. Can anyone tell me if this chip would be compatible with any v3 ps2. Thanks

Either get the Magic 2 or get a Apple chip, or you could try the new Matrix 2 chip..... There is NO MAGIC 3.... They also talk about a Magic 3 Messiah...... (which doesn't exist either...)

This came directly from the Magic 2 website:We have noticed some rather peculiar marketing methods of resellers of the magic2 modchip. Many name changes and false functionality of the magic2. We have heard of magic3, Blue magic2 and just now we have heard Magic2 V5. This has only starting mass confusion with customers that is very unecessary, if you are a reseller of magic2 modchips we encourage you to stay as close to the lineup we have as possible.


You will have to open up your PS2 to determine what type of bios it has....
