==
For a '''[[Task State Segment]]''' or '''[[Local Descriptor Table]]''' in '''[[Long Mode]]''', the format of a '''Segment Descriptor''' differs to ensure that the '''Base''' value can contain a 64-bit '''[[Linear Address]]'''. It takes up the space in the table of two usual entries, in a little endian format, such that the lower half of this entry precedes the higher half in the table.
