In this part we dig into the hardware mechanics that power x86 memory management. We explore the evolution from Real to Protected Mode and dissect the translation process from Logical to Linear addresses. You’ll learn how the Global Descriptor Table (GDT), Segment Selectors, and the Flat Memory Model function under...
