And it has *nothing* in common with "the old one". Thanks! Will go to look into this site. Yesterday tried to find something through Intel site but found nothing practical. The most I expect to buy some books with Assembler and Intel chip design. Chip internal structure will be very interesting for me to read. Even if this time everything is new, I am ready to find everything from zero.
