Default Cant decide on which of these 3 chips to get Wii with

Im going to buy a Wii in one of the next couple of days. Ive been reading alot of stuff of Wii the last 2 weeks but im still undecided on which chip to buy with it

The 3 chips: Drivekey, D2pro and Wiikey 2. Its going to be one of these definately pls help me pick one, with pros & cons if possible.

The Drivekey seems to be the cheapest on most of the sites ive seen it in while the other 2 switches between them on some sites on being the most expensive.

pls help i want to play a Wii before we get the the next Nintendo console

Thanks for all the help, ive decided to go for a Wiikey2 as it seems to be more current than D2pro and Drivekeye has no good gamecube support, i wouldnt have done it without you guys

Hope the reply is not too late. You'll be fine with a WiiKey2 or a D2Pro. I recommend getting them soldered in if you can. You can install these with a WiiClip but soldering is better. WiiClips work (I have one) but with varying degrees of success. The Drivekey is easier and more foolproof to install but it can have issues (skipping, jitters) with disk intensive games (i.e. Mario galaxy during the animated scenes). Do you have someone who can do the install for you?

Thanks for your reply and help, i buy it preinstalled from a authorised chip store but i actually didnt ask if its just clipped on, i have ordered it late last night and although i did read alot around that clipped chips are unstable i somehow forgot to ask this, i will write back when i get it

I would not worry about that much, if it works, it works. Clips that are professionally installed are usually very stable. Although I must say I do not know of any chip stores that will put a clip on for you, it is usually just as easy and cheaper for them to solder it in.

yes this store also have a nice function where i can talk while my items are on the progress to being delivered with mail to me, i asked him there and he said it was soldered on.

I think youre right about the thing that they prefer to solder it on i havent actually seen any shops either putting clips on of the 3 shops i had available before buying the machine

Thanks again
