I can't exactly answer your firm ware question, but I'll try and ask you a few questions to help you make a better decision.

Is there a particular reason you want to update your firmware?
You mentioned possibly Soft Moding.
Are you wanting to soft mod possibly to play backups or use your Xbox as a media Center?

Personally I took the Soft Mod route and I can't be any happier. As well if I decide to go back I can just remove everything and I'm back to square one.

Back to your DVD drive. Do you know which one you have? The reason I ask if your planning on flashing your Firmware it might be a good idea to at least know which one you have.

Heres a URL that points it out. I know there is one here because there is tons of info, but I just happened to have this saved as a book mark. I personally have the Thompson because my Xbox is well really old. Very Happy

First of you will need to grab the soft mod installer
http://www.aidtracker.com/

You will need a Memory Card like an action replay to copy the game saves to your memory card

And the coolest thing is you need to watch this video.

This is the forum section to the Soft Mod just incase you would like to see what others might of gone through. Give that a chew for a little bit and if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
