Hello, world.
I want to know if somebody knows the physical memory structure.
I am creating an OS and I want to know the differents physical memory address of memory video, bios memory and such.
Thanks.

Re:physical memory

Re:physical memory
There's also this in the Wiki:
http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/H ... f%20RAM%3F
It includes a copy of Perica's lower memory map as well as how to use the GRUB/BIOS memory map to discover unavailable sections in the rest of the memory.

Re:physical memory
Just a little note for physical memory: some modern BIOS's don't have (or can disable) the small hole in the physical memory map. I noticed mine can be turned off while setting things up one day.
