Ever consider a no swap mod chip like the messiah, magic 2, or apple? Much easier than dealing with a no solder chip.

Search through the forum and look at how many problems are associated with the no solder mod chip...(patching games, things not booting, dvd rips, etc......)
That should be reason enough..... Without even mentioning the fact that you have to SWAP......

Yes you have to be a very experienced at soldering to do a messiah/magic/apple. Bill at www.freedomlives.com does installs. He charges $60 for all three of the chips mentioned above.
