> Fair warning: first person to talk about RISC gets slapped.
You asked the question and then refused to listen to the answer!
RISC is exactly what it says -- a REDUCED instruction set -- if the instructions aren't in the processor, then they need to be in the running process (hence programs are larger).

I'll be curious to see what the "kids" have to say about the price (since $500 is WAY too much for a MOTHERBOARD -- $350 ought to be WAY too much for an accelerator!)
