Paul, The FPU dispatch/scheduler would have to be designed to be reprogrammable, routing FPU instructions to only functional pipes - and the K7 would have to have on-board FPU diagnostics to DETERMINE which pipes were functional, and then REPROGAM the Instruction decoders/FPU Dispatch/Schedulers. Amazing! And all I thought you would need was a configuration register bit which marks the FPU reservation station as unavailable. Scumbria
