This should have NX, but I don't know what the mapping is between the
"stepping" as "1" vs D0, E0, G1, etc.

This CPU has nx in the flags, so the BIOS is not disabling it.
I'm going to make a slight assumption here and presume that as it's a

Fascinating in a perverse way. The NX (no execute bit) is a tacit concession
that Von Neumann architecture is a mistake. Not sure how much performance is
lost by using it and even less sure if anybody actually uses it. It may be

Hi guys,
