A 64 bit adder will be slightly slower than a 32 bit adder. But the Pentium
4 readily demonstrates that the time to do a single addition doesn't come
anywhere close to being a limiting factor on processor clock rate.

Chipguy:You obviously don't have the foggiest notion.

I am not the one who claimed a 64 bit adder is 20 to 30% slower than a
32 bit adder. Or that the critical path in modern uPs, and therefore their
maximum clock rate, is dominated by addition speed. Toss me another
nugget from your vast store of knowledge. Its been raining on and off all
day here and I could use another good belly laugh.
