It depends on two things:
What version is your Xbox?
Can you solder?

I personally have an Xenium and it's great, however with all the new stuff, I'd say X3

If you have an Xbox made after ~April 2004, it's probably a 1.6.

With these, installing a modchip is much more difficult to (must rebuild the LPC), and requires a bit more soldering (even with the solderless adapters, they don't really work well with 1.6).

So, a better alternative for the 1.6 Xboxes (and older ones, too) is softmodding. Basically, you use Action replay or something similar to install a special game save to an Xbox memcard, which you put on your Xbox, run the game, and install the mod.

Ltools 1.7.5 is a great softmod package, and will work with any Xbox with dash 4920 or higher, including 1.6 (if you have a really old xbox with dash lower then 4920, just run a live enabled game to do a dash update). I modified it to work with earlier dash versions, however.

All of my Xboxes have X-ecuter 2.3 Pro modchips in them, but I've softmodded most of my friend's boxes since it's a lot faster, easier, and cheaper.

hey I already soft-modded my xbox but my friend is going to get a xbox so odds are he's going to get a 1.6 who know but I was wondering does the PBL works with 1.6? if not up to which version does it support? thanks

ok, i dont know what version i have but i bought it last xmas. i dont know where to look on the xbox to find it out. i heard its inside but i dont know where. but most of these chips now support all versions. and yes i can solder(well actually a friend of mine can, he's done quite a few xbox's already). so lightning said x3....does ne one else think thats better or the xenium? thank you guys for the help too. and if ne one really wants me to get the version number let me know where to look in the box and i'll open it up and look there. thanx.

Ltools 1.7.5 works with version 1.6 (installs UDE2, PBL-metoo, EvoX M8 )
