MSR(Model-Specific Register) Additional, indirectly-accessible, registers containing control or status information about various aspects of the processor such as caches, performance counters, and the like. These registers, accessible via the RDMSR and WRMSR instructions, were added with the Pentium and later-model 486 processors. 00001001h - IBMInternational Busiuness MachinesInternational Busiuness Machines) A hardware, software and other service technology company founded in 1911. 386/486 SLC - CACHE REGION CONTROL REGISTER

Bitfields for IBMInternational Busiuness MachinesInternational Busiuness Machines) A hardware, software and other service technology company founded in 1911. 386/486 SLC CacheCaching is a method of increasing performance by keeping frequently-used data in a location which is more quickly accessed. The most common caches are disk caches (store disk sectors in RAM) and RAM caches (store portions of main memory in special high-speed RAM which may be accessed as fast as the CPU is capable of accessing memory). See also Delayed Write, Write-Through. Region Control Register:
Bit(s) Description (Table R0054)

which may be cached)
31-16 first megabyte read-only flags (each bit represents 64K)
