"Dean Takahashi, the author of Opening the Xbox, reports today on the Mercury News that people familiar with the design of the Xbox 360 revealed that the shortage of Microsoft’s next-generation console was due to fault memory chips provided by Infineon."

“Some Infineon chips ran slower than 700-megahertz speed that was required, according to the sources.”

“As a result, sources said, Microsoft has had to start sorting the slow GDDR3 chips from the fast ones, adding a delay to the production of the boxes and limiting the total numbers it can build.”

So your 360 maybe running slower than others....if i understand it right.

That isn't what the article meant. The article meant that the final manufacturers, of which there were only two before recently, had to waste time sorting out the chips they received from Infinion.

Your chips, since you have a completed 360, are fine.
