No Solder Mods
Also knows as the RMod, Steath mod, and the Mod thats not a Mod, this mod requires No Soldering whatsoever. It just plugs into the PS2 mainboard connecters, Power, and door Eject. Basicly, all it does is opens the PS2 door, without telling the PS2. It can boot CD Based Ps2 games, PS1 games,DVD-R games, and DVD Rips under 630mb.
The No Solder Mod requires a Gameshark2, Action Replay2, DVD Region X, or Swap Magic Disk in order to function properly
Theres no way to boot CD-R's over 630mb because the TOC of the boot disk. If there was a Boot disk that was programmed to boot 700mb, then it would. The only game over 630mb that boot is Resident Evil Code Veronica X.

Neo Key
Also know as the Sbox, and many other names,
This external chip uses the 700x or the Neo 2.2 programming, and the 8-pin chip. The Neo Key just plugs into the PS2 USB Slot, and requires a linked solder wire inside the Ps2, which is easy, on a version 5, it requres a resistor to be removed. This chip cannot boot DVD-R's, but can direct boot PSX backups, and can boot PS2 Cd-r backups and DVD-Rips under and over 630mb. This chip cannot boot unpatches EA games(see below).
The Neo Key supports Version 1-6 Ps2's

Ace Key
This chip was created off the No Solder mod, it requires 1 wire to be soldered from the chip to PS2, it will boot DVD-Rs, PSX, and PS2 games under and over 630mb. The only problem is it only works properly on PAL machines. This chip works on Version 5&6 Ps2's

Auto Boot 3
This is made from the Neo 2.5/2.6 I think, as it requires the same boot method, this chip works on both NTSC and PAL machines, it boots DVD-r's, PSx backups, and PS2 backups under and over 630mb. EA games are required to be patched to work with this chip.
Works on versions 5 and 6 and requires 3 wire to be soldered.
http://www.gocybershop.ca/images/PS21505_big.jpg
Neo 2.5/2.6
This chip is totally different from the Neo 2.2, it requires you to hold reset to play every game. It requires 5 soldering points for the 2.5, and 6 for the 2.6. It has 2 modes for booting CD backups, and requires you to patch EA backups. It also plays games over and under 630mb.
Works on Version 4 and 5 Ps2
http://www.gocybershop.ca/images/neo2.5dvdauto_big.jpg
Nova2
The Nova2 seems like its in a different league than all the other chips. It plays everything with a swap, one of its biggest feature is that it can boot any DVD-R without a large TOC. It's biggest feature is that it can boot imports. This Chip can also be combined with the Neo 4 to make a No Swap combination. This chip is also the same as the Origa Chip. They work on versions 1-5. Requires 14-24 wires to be soldered, and is the hardest chip to install.

Neo 4.0/4.1
This Chip plays Ps1 and Ps2 CD backups No swap, and DVD backups with a swap, but doesn't require a Boot Disk. In addition to that, it disables Marcovision, and has Muti Region DVD playback. It was the first chip to have the No Swap feature.This chip requires 44 wire to be soldered. It works on verison 1-4.
http://www.the-console-corner.com/neo4.jpg
Neo 4.5
Same as the Neo 4.1, this just requires 11 solder points, and uses a BIOS clip, that takes the place of the other wires. 2 tracks need to be cut, works on 1,3, and 4 with a Bios GAP
