General question to anyone who has read this, without starting
another RISC/CISC war:

Given the RISC background of the authors, how balanced a book is this,
i.e. is it a unbiased architecture text or is it a textbook
on RISC architecture?

(the answer is 'RISC architecture' = 'computer architecture' doesn't
count :-)
