re: Dropping P4 FCLK

Hmm. Because they'd basically have to redo the pipeline stages in that integer ALU? Now that you mention it (btw, thanks for mentioning it), it does seem a bit tougher than snapping one's fingers.

I kinda would have thought that Intel would hedge their bets and have a backup plan or something. I mean, what would happen if (hypothetically) the FCLK caused limitations to the ramp?
