Yes you solder the 10 pads on the chip to the lpc.  I think the picture you are referring to is an example of what a good solder conenction is compared to a bad solder connection.

In reply to your second post which just popped up....

The chip gets power and ground from the lpc bus.... on the ver 1.5 machines the power was cut from lpc bus, that's why you need to provide it from elsewhere on the board.  If you don't have a 1.5 machine, and I doubt that you do, you don't need to worry about this.

The black/blue wire is optional.  you can solder the blue wire to D0 then plug the other end to the modchip.  The black is for ground, don't worry about it.

The black ground wire on the loom can be attached, just stick it under a mobo screw.

If you choose not to install the blackwire, either clip it off close to the chip, or wrap the end with electrical tape so that it doesn't short anything out

Sound advice.

can you use the solderless adapter on the 1.6?

Off topic and no.
