HISTORY:

The hardware-components listed above were purchased individually and assembled by me in August of 2009 with the help and direct supervision of a friend who works in IT and builds several computers per month.

****************************


The BIOS setting for the AMD Phenom II X3 710's "TLB Patch" is set to "Auto." The settings of Enable and Disable are also available.

Should I turn this patch OFF?
