A computer system having a mechanism for maintaining processor ordering during out-of-order instruction execution is disclosed wherein load memory instructions are accessed according to program order and executed out-of-order in relation to the program order where appropriate. Processors in the system snoop an external bus for bus transactions that conflict with completed load memory instructions before committing results of the completed load memory instructions to an architectural state.
