Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as  counsel to  AmeriChip  International  Inc.,  a Nevada
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in  connection  with the  Company's  filing of a
Registration  Statement  on Form S-8  (the  "Registration  Statement")  covering
8,000,000  shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Common Stock"), issuable under the Company's 2003 Non-Qualified Incentive Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan").

         In this  connection,  we have considered such questions of law and have
examined such  documents as we have deemed  necessary to enable us to render the
opinions contained herein.

         Based  upon the  foregoing,  it is our  opinion  that the shares of the
Common Stock, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and pursuant
to  the  Registration  Statement,   will  be  legally  issued,  fully  paid  and
nonassessable.

         We hereby  consent to the  filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                SCHIFF HARDIN LLP
