| 21. | The Windows NT series of operating systems, by contrast, are true multi-user, and implement absolute memory protection.
|
| 22. | Primarily, this separation serves to provide memory protection and hardware protection from malicious or errant software behaviour.
|
| 23. | The 980 was, for its time, a relatively powerful small computer that offered memory protection and multiple-priority interrupt capabilities.
|
| 24. | Here is an example of ANSI C code that will generally cause a segmentation fault on platforms with memory protection.
|
| 25. | It also adds increased memory protection to let the operating system take advantage of new CPUs such as the AMD64.
|
| 26. | It required a memory management unit ( MMU ) to support memory protection, so was not compatible with 8088 processors.
|
| 27. | Although Windows 9x features memory protection, it does not protect the first megabyte of memory from freeze the operating system.
|
| 28. | This mode allowed fast, direct access to the system's entire RAM without requiring a memory manager or memory protection mechanism.
|
| 29. | The Intel iAPX 432, begun in 1975, attempted to implement a true segmented architecture with memory protection on a microprocessor.
|
| 30. | Windows versions 3.1 through ME had some level of memory protection, but programs could easily circumvent the need to use it.
