Without any prejudice to excellent references mentioned in this thread, 
let me add that Richard Hummel's book "The Processor and the Coprocessor" 
contains all this and a short algorithm desscribing the effect of each
keyword/statement too. One limitation though: No pentium specific opcodes,
atleast in the edition that I have.
