INTEL® CELERON® PROCESSOR SPECIFICATION UPDATE C7. EFLAGS Register Correction The Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1: Basic Architecture Section 3.7.2, Figure 3.7. "EFLAGS Register" currently states: Bit 11 "OF" as "X" It should state: Bit 11 "OF" as "S" C8. PSE-36 Paging Mechanism The Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual, Vol 3: System Programming Guide Chapter 3, Section 3.9, third paragraph currently states: As is shown in Table 3-3, the following flags must be set or cleared to enable the PSE-36 paging mechanism: • PSE-36 CPUID feature flag-When set, it indicates the availability of the PSE-36 paging mechanism on the IA-32 processor on which the CPUID instruction is executed. • PG flag (bit 31) in register CR0-Set to 1 to enable paging. • PSE flag (bit 4) in control register CR4 - Set to 1 to enable the page size extension for 4- Mbyte pages. • PAE flag (bit 5) in control register CR4-Clear to 0 to disable the PAE paging mechanism. It should state: As is shown in Table 3-3, the following flags must be set or cleared to enable the PSE-36 paging mechanism: • PSE-36 CPUID feature flag-When set, it indicates the availability of the PSE-36 paging mechanism on the IA-32 processor on which the CPUID instruction is executed. • PG flag (bit 31) in register CR0-Set to 1 to enable paging. • PAE flag (bit 5) in control register CR4-Clear to 0 to disable the PAE paging mechanism. • PSE flag (bit 4) in control register CR4 and the PS flag in PDE- Set to 1 to enable the page size extension for 4-Mbyte pages. • Or the PSE flag (bit 4) in control register CR4- Set to 1 and the PS flag (bit 7) in PDE- Set to 0 to enable 4-KByte pages with 32-bit addressing (below 4GBytes). 82

“EFLAGS Register” currently states:
Bit 11 “OF” as “X”

3.9,
third paragraph currently states:
As is shown in Table 3-3, the following flags must be set or cleared to enable the PSE-36 paging
mechanism:
PSE-36 CPUID feature flag-When set, it indicates the availability of the PSE-36 paging
mechanism on the IA-32 processor on which the CPUID instruction is executed.
PG flag (bit 31) in register CR0-Set to 1 to enable paging.
PSE flag (bit 4) in control register CR4 - Set to 1 to enable the page size extension for 4-
Mbyte pages.
PAE flag (bit 5) in control register CR4-Clear to 0 to disable the PAE paging mechanism.
It should state:
