    Registers (where are they)

    Where do the AX, BX, CX, DX registers physically reside (i.e. are they stored in the processor)

    What about the others: e.g CS, DS

    Cheers

    ECP ???

    I thought it was EIP (Extended Instruction Pointer)

    Sorry, you're right. And of course IP instead of CP.

    I wonder what the registers will be called once the 64-bit processors come out?

    AMD's uses G instead of E.

    Intel's uses completly different register names, since it has 128 integer registers. r0, r1 etc. for integers for example.

    Oh, and the IA-64 I is already out. The only problem is that it sucks
    AMD's Opteron too if I'm not mistaken.
