I guess this will be useful only if your OS is 16-bit. I think that information should be added to the Wiki.

BTW, I saw this from your page
flat mode multi thread OS
Is your OS 16-bit real mode? How will it be flat mode then?

He thinks he's on Mars, his sanity should be questioned.

This article is not relevant, it will likely be removed.

I am not sure about that. It will be useful for someone who develops an MS-DOS clone.

Article deleted. As mentioned by Brynet-Inc, the information is wrong. In addition to that, even the correct information is Windows/DOS specific. Those memory models are just standards accepted by these OSes.

Article undeleted. By a count of this thread I see two votes in favor (you and Brynet) and two against (the OP and raghuk). I There is no majority, let alone consensus.

Also, if you state that the information is factually inaccurate, I need a bit more concrete evidence of the matter, since I couldn't personally find any discrepancies between the page and my own recollections of Turbo C use. Also Brynet never said that the article's facts are off, only displayed doubt of the relevance.

Hence, delete rolled back.

That said, the article does need quite a bit of work to become something more than a boring summation of terms (which ATM is my biggest objection)
