Often it is mentioned that ppc based systems are "flat memory". So Please clarify 1)what exactly flat memory means? 2) Please give comparision of x86 and ppc, showing the places where they are different. 3) So is there any difference in drivers that work on ppc platforms. Any links/pointers will also be helpful. Please mail back to venkatraghu2002@yahoo.com, as I did't subscribe. Regards Venkat. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
