|    Accessing addresses which have no RAM    |
|    05 Apr 19 19:41:13    |
      From: james.harris.1@nospicedham.gmail.com              Does anyone here know what would likely happen to cache lines and buses       if one were to read addresses which had no RAM - with or without caching       enabled for those addresses? Ditto writing such addresses? Would the       reads/writes cause problems? What value would be read? All zeroes? All       ones?              And would such operations be slower than accessing real RAM? I guess not       but I don't know. Accessing non-existent RAM is not something one gets       to do too often!              --       James Harris              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
