The processor has little to nothing to do with this.. it's dependent on the northbridge and southbridge. > I vaguely remember see'ing some code where someone on a i386 based > plattform but WITHOUT bios, used smbus protocol to talk to a device > across PIIX4 to get the info. Which might work on one motherboard and fail on another.

No. Not in a portable way. That's why BIOS provides the e820 table. > I am on a IXDP425 plattform, and so far I cannot see any such > register on the data sheets .. They are usually not disclosed in publically available datasheets.
