A Must Read on the System Address Space

Post by tlf30 »

Hello,
I just stumbled upon an article which I thought did an amazing job of explaining the physical address space in Intel IA-32/Intel64

Anyone starting out and needing to know about how all the ROM, RAM and PCI interact on the address space should read it.

Hope this helps someone,
Trevor
