 FAG> I really thank you for your help... but the fact is that
 FAG> I'm looking for the _*micro-ops*_ table...
I doubt if you will ever find it, unless you either a) licence it from Intel, 
or b) illegally suck the guts out of one of the CPUs.
 FAG> That means that I need to know how many micro-ops each
 FAG> instruction produces, so that I know the order in which I
 FAG> should put the instructions, so the condition I explained
 FAG> above would be valid....
Best you can do is pop off to Intel's website, and pick up the Pentium 
optimization guide for programmers.. I forget the exact document name or 
Intel order number.
But you will never find the micro-code anywhere legal, unless you have lots 
of money to give to Intel :)
