+Advantages of Speculation, Load and Store hazards:
+
+* A store updates memoryy only when it reached the head of the ROB
+* WAW and WAR type of hazards are eliminated with speculation
+  (actual updating of memory occurs in order)
+* RAW hazards through memory are maintained by not allowing a load
+  to initiate the second step of its execution
+* Check if any store has a destination field that matched the

+    - LD F2 100(R2)
