I'd also be glad for some literature | recommendations in this area. Just about nothing beats David A. Patterson and John L Hennessy's seminal works "Computer Architecture (a quantitative approach)" and "Computer Organization and Design (the hardware/software interface)". Read them before you pick up, say, the processor reference manuals for the Intel Pentium III. (Despite the braindamaged instruction set and register model, the internals are amazingly brilliant.) #:Erik -- Does anyone remember where I parked Air Force One? -- George W. Bush
