Actually, I think it looks pretty cool in code tags

Lol yeah, I thought the same; I might have just gotten used to monospaced text after looking at notepad++ for so long, that it's become aesthetically pleasing, though.

You might not want GCC for windows; if you're downloading MinGW, you're doing the wrong thing. If you're using Cygwin, however, that's the correct thing to do.

Same here, but with MSVC.

@cotton: We're moving too slow? It seems to me we're moving too fast for you. We spent, like, three pages telling you how to use nasm.

If your post doesn't contain a question, or isn't clarifying anything, then it's not worth posting. Try to write in complete sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation as well, so people understand what you mean.

a20 is not a bus, its the 20th address line on the address bus. Also, it does not give you "unlimited ram", it only enables access above the 1MB physical address mark.
