Show me one person that can actually show me the error impacting desktop computing. They can all bitch about it, but they cannot show their readers the error because they cannot produce it. I think AMD has handled this issue very badly. The fact is that the TLB fix can be turned off in the BIOS with absolutely no negative impact to the desktop consumer.
The AMD Overdrive tool will let me set CPU clock multipliers from 5 - 47. Our part would run at 3.2GHz, just not reliably. Also our Phenom was not stable at 1.55v but was at 1.50v, so there seems to be a sweet spot there with our part.
As for overclocking the other buses, I don't think that is going to have any impact on real world computing experience due to the buses already being so wide it is almost impossible to saturate them now on a desktop system.
