New questions for discussion.

  o  What goes into a "Computer Architecture and Organization" class?

  o  What are good texts for such classes?  

  o  To what extent should "gate level logic" be discussed?

Basically, I am interested opinions from the net because most references to "what
should be covered" are dated and I would like to teach an "updated" course
this Fall.  I have already done some looking at texts but none have satisfied me 
yet.
