I just read an ad on ebay buy a person that is selling 2 GB OCZ PC3700 Gold Edition Rev. 3 Dual Channel memory sticks. He says he's selling the memory because a defect in the FX-53 chip will not allow him to run memory at speeds higher than 166. I'll paste the exact wording below:
"These are two brand new packages of OCZ pc 3700 (512MB x 2) Dual Channel Gold Edition Rev 3 unbuffered regular memory that I could not use because my AMD FX-53 chip (as well as all of the ones made due to a defect in the chips) will not run any memory at high speeds (over 166) when dual channel in activated. I am very upset that I needed to get other slower memory because these are great sticks (my first choice), but I cannot use them."
Is this true? I'm planning to install a FX-53 chip in my new computer and if this is a problem, I'd like to know.
Thanks.
