You can check the MSR register C0010015h with CrystalCPU's MSR Editor. If the last hex is 8h the patch is applied if it's 0h it's patch free.Originally Posted by JumpingJack

Thanks.... will do. I had noticed your hack/info but did not read too much up on it. I need to go back and re-read what you have uncovered.

Well at the end I found that all the stuff I found was in the Revision Guide since 09/07.
Only two bit's in two MSR registers apply the tlb-patch.
Are we looking at the right errata, 254 is a TLB errata, but I thought the patch in question dealt with 298, which has not been published yet.Well at the end I found that all the stuff I found was in the Revision Guide since 09/07.

Good point. AMD has posted the patch for errata 298 on the x86-64 mailing list here.
But looking at the source code the patch is a workaround for errata 254.
Can be it are two TLB related problems, whom can both be fixed just by disabling the TLB.
Patch free. M3A32-MVP Deluxe Bios 503 does not have the patch.
Thanks again.
