By now, most of you are probably very familiar with the AMD Phenom and their partner in crime, the AMD 790FX chipset. The latest platform by AMD shows a lot of promise, though a lot of work is still to be done on the processor front. In a nutshell, the system will lock up in specific, albeit rare, instances. The current translation lookaside buffer (TLB) issue affects all launch Phenoms, but a fix is available. The problem is the fix impacts the performance overall, but depending on the motherboard, you can toggle the fix on and off.
