'grats Edgar.
@king: Either take the class on assembly or at least one on computer organization (e.g. how hardware does its thang). Never hurts to know what goes on under the hood. |

Somehow I don't get the feeling that an A+ will teach you how what an ALU is and how it gets the job done... then again, never studied for it...

The ALU is the part of the CPU that does most the work. Adding, subtracting, multiplying (most ALUs have 2 registers just for storing the result, since a Mul result can be twice the sice of an argument register), XOR, it all happens in the ALU... something like that
though it's a tiny part of a modern CPU what with all the pipelining and whatnot... |
