    ive heard pretty bad things about the reliability of spider chips, especially solderless ones. youre probably better off with a xenium if youre looking for a solder free chip. its a cinch to install and very solid.

    or try and find somone in your area with soldering experience. people are always willing to help out...

    Hi,

    The xenium your talking about...does it include spice solderless adapter.

    This adapter is great, http://www.teamxodus.com/XOS/spice.wmv .

    The video shows that it withstand what any sane person would do to their xbox, NOT.

    Solderless is nice, and worth it in the long run... :)

    XBITS are awful, had three of them die on me in 3 different boxes, went with x3 and works great
