Need help understanding memory models, cpu modes and address translation

[Vaibhav Jain]

Hi,

Thanks for the link.I really appreciate but I need something more basic and
something that
explains these concepts from a broader perspective and not in the context of
a
particular cpu architecture.Please send me more such links if you come
across any.

Thanks
Vaibhav Jain
