I must admit I hadn't worked enough with Pentium processors to be aware of
this.  Thank you for clarifying that these "micro-ops" aren't the same as
instruction clocks.

FAG>that the others can, so that you must put the instructions in a certain

FAG>It's a very simple and not-so-good explanation about Pentium II and 
Pentium
FAG>Pro microarchitecture, but it does to explain you what I am needing, I
FAG>think...
I'd say the explanation is sufficient... I also wonder if these "micro-ops"
would be useful if one were porting from a Pentium to a PowerPC... 
FAG>Anyway, thank you very much! (Do you know where I can get the table I
FAG>need?)
I can look for such a table...
