Talk:32-bit x86 assembly programming

Untitled
Could someone please rewrite the paragraph that reads:

The lower 16 bits of each 32 bit register can be addressed separately and like a register in	its own right, and the low 16 bits of the first four registers (EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX) can be further broken up into two eight-bit registers. The 16 bits of data in these first four 16 bit registers can be addressed 8 bits at a time: the upper eight and the lower eight bits, and can be treated as registers in their own right.

The second sentence in very confusing in light of the first. --85.197.227.231 12:54, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Test registers
Why are test registers listed here? These are not part of the official x86 architecture and as far as I can tell only existed in the 486 era processors. Also, not all flags in EFLAGS are 1-bit...IOPL is 2-bits. David.kaplan 04:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
