my xbox currently has a xcuter 2 pro modchip hardwired in it. i came across a xcuter 3 modchip and am wondering if i can use the wiring harness thats already sodered to my mobo and just plug it into the x3 chip. i also have the front panel control and power switch adapter that came with the x3 that i would have to add in. thx in advance

Oh yeah man: more banks for BIOS, FTP, on board start up config, settings for LED screen, quick launch and thats just a few off the top of my head.

X3 3294 BIOS is the only real way to go with your main BIOS.
