you can find answer to all of your questions by just read/search.
Flashing= delete memory, replace new
dash=many types, on the internet( irc)
games= yes,enough if you hav 2000gb harddrive
chips= soldering and no soldering chips(X2.3b+ is a safe start for a noob)

3.Turn off the chip via a switch
4.EvoX/Avalaunch/MXM/MediaX...read forums/tutorials
