Hi all im after your opinions, I went to flash one of my winbound 1.4 xboxs and the thing failed. Now I know the easiest way to fix is a chip but which chip out of these 3 would you suggest?

Any of those will do. I do personally prefer the Aladdins myself though as the other two types have given me grief in the past with corrupted bioses over time. The Aladdins by the way are XT Aladdins as they have run out of the older, inferior ones in the advert. ;)

I vote DUO X2 chip but it looks like they dont have them anymore and are shipping DUOX3's and I want to say those are not so good?......this is off of memory but someone could probably jump in and correct me.

Well its a tough choice. DuoX 2's are better in term of features, but Aladdin's are more reliable.
Never eared of any problems with Aladdin's, while many DuoX 2's clones had corruption problem. It happened to me once.
Personally I would still get a DuoX 2.

Any chip will get your Xbox back up and running. But none will flash a v1.4 TSOP trough the LPC port AFAIK, only v1.0-v1.3 can be flashed with some rare chips you wont find nowadays, Chameleons for example http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... f=13&t=433.
