You can see there 3 options taken from the dvd chips summary table
An Auto Chip
An RCE Chip
And Finally an Auto Chip and RCE chip ( Both the above Chips )
Macro = Macrovision and is a form of copy protection , if it`s given you no problem up until now then there is no need to disable it , RCE is described on this page.

If you just want to extend your ability to play disks very cheaply and can live without RCE compatibility then go for the dvd chips auto chip , if however you want RCE compatibility aswell then I would advise against the dvd chips RCE chip as it`s very basic to say the least and with a high end machine like you have you would not be happy with the limitations caused by the dvd chips RCE chip.
If you want the full mod with full manual switching and hence full RCE comatible then be prepared to pay a lot more and have much more difficult installaton.
