|    Detect physical memory addressing limit     |
|    06 Jan 19 16:36:21    |
      From: jj4public@nospicedham.vfemail.net              x64 processors have different physical memory addressing limits. For       example, early Intel CPU models only have 40-bit of physical memory       addressing (64GB), and then 46-bit on later models (64TB). AMD models have       40-bit (1TB), then 48-bit (256TB).              Assuming that a system has 64GB of RAM and with an Intel CPU, is there a way       to detect whether the CPU has 40-bits or 46-bits physical memory addressing       limit?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
