   I used to program on the Commodore 64, which used   
   the 6510 (basically 6502), and I recently realized that   
   the way it used a pair of 8-bit values to access memory   
   makes it fundamentally segmentation not much   
   different to the 8086.   
      
   (I think).   
      
   Anything preventing using 4 8-bit values to access   
   4 GiB of memory instead of 64k?   
      
   Would that be useful in any situation, given that I   
   believe people still program 8-bit CPUs?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
