Pentium pro处理器最大可支持64G物理寻址空间。不知道硬件是否设计了64G的扩展内存能力。。。。。 而且Linux的32位版本,也只支持到了4G。
PHYSICAL ADDRESS SPACE
In protected mode, the IA-32 architecture provides a normal physical address space of 4 GBytes
(232
bytes). This is the address space that the processor can address on its address bus. This
address space is flat (unsegmented), with addresses ranging continuously from 0 to
FFFFFFFFH. This physical address space can be mapped to read-write memory, read-only
memory, and memory mapped I/O. The memory mapping facilities described in this chapter can
be used to divide this physical memory up into segments and/or pages.
Starting with the Pentium Pro processor, the IA-32 architecture also supports an extension of the
physical address space to 236 bytes (64 GBytes); with a maximum physical address of
FFFFFFFFFH. This extension is invoked in either of two ways:
• Using the physical address extension (PAE) flag, located in bit 5 of control register CR4.
• Using the 36-bit page size extension (PSE-36) feature (introduced in the Pentium III
processors). |
