Trying to decide whether to install a cygnos v2 chip on a 60gb box. Is it a good idea? It`s a august 08 box. Was there a high failure rate on the box. I believe its a falcon board. So should I install it cause finding a jasper thats not 8955 is pretty hard.

I would!
There's always gonna be a risk with any revision. jaspers are no different.
BTW,...my falcon is still going strong and still using the original x-clamps. (its a Jan /08 box)

Thanks
