Not useless to me. I look at it this way: the ALU is used for a high percentage of CPU instruction executions. For all the fewer cycles of ALU busy time that there are because of the double speed ALU, the entire pipeline gets to take advantage of all the extra time gained. In other words, those "slower" pipeline stages still have to wait quite often for faster stages ahead of them. The faster the ALU gets those quick ALU executions the heck out of the way the faster the slower ones can advance. An analogy: toolbooths quite a few years ago put machines in that you could throw your money into, and you didn't even have to stop. These result in everyone getting through faster, the people throwing their money in, and the people that have to break a ten. Tony
