Hi,

These questions have been asked many times before - you've broken the forum rules by asking them without searching. A simple forum search, peruse, or look on the wiki would give you all the information you require. A link to the wiki is even displayed prominently in the top right of your page ("The OSDev.org Wiki - Got a question? Search this first!"), so there is no excuse.

Please follow the forum rules.

Cheers,

James
