Yes sure...
Think about: TSOP or EXPLOIT (softmod....)
www.xbox-scene.com is a good place to start... search on what syncmaster told you...

but a word of advice... mod chips are the way to go. Softmodding gives limited options and I don' think you can go live once you do it. Also if you screw up you're hosed...

The X3 is a breeze to install and it has some awsome features! If you're going to take the time and mod your xbox... cowboy up and buy the chip!!

And a softmod can be deleted,,, when you per accidentily push de LIVE button in a game :cool:

Yeah, much reasons why you have to buy a chip,
and there is one reason to do a softmod:

Your xbox can be closed :D

I did 2 softmods and they worked surprisingly well. I used the UDE2 method on 1.6 Xboxes. As long as you read the instructions and copy the important files over correctly, the rest is a breeze. I still believe a mod chip is the way to go. However, for somebody who wants to run homebrew software and backups without spending a lot of money ..... the softmod can't be beat !

if you dont get an X3 which i would suggest to do. at least flash the TSOP. softmods are gay. plus like people have been saying if you update the dash on accident you delete the softmod and can render your xbox usless until you get a modchip.

I don't know if I can say it here; but did you know how cheap a duox2 chip is?

Very goot and stabil chip, with more features than a softmod,,
Not a really bright thing to say on the official Xecuter site... but to each thier own.
