Re: Adventures in near(?)-futility

Hmmm... of course, that _would_ make Windows seem a bit nicer if what MS says is true. If it was just some marketecture b.s. as it sounds like, it'd just be a way to divert attention. But I'm _sure_ no vendor would ever do anything like that.

OTOH, a google on "ram execute write read cycle" brings up quite a few non-MS technical docs that don't seem to show a significant difference in memory itself between normal memory reads/writes and what happens during a fetch/execute cycle...

It appears to use read/write and not 'execute'.  But to RAM, executing
is just reading anyway so I fail to see any significant difference.
