Phenom bug ?
I read in a french article that there was a bug in the phenom CPU and that AMD issued a BIOS fix for it, but that it would reduce the performance by 10%. Here is the link even tho, it is kind of pointless to most of you.
I tried to look for it on some websites and forums, but haven't managed to find any information about that, is it true ? In that same article, they were talking about a rumor stating that AMD stopped commercializing the Phenom, has anyone heard of that ?

Yeap it does in the L3 cache, will cause it to lock up if you overclock around 2.6 and above. Would not buy one till the B3 stepping comes out.
