===Segmentation===

Segmentation is not commonly available in mainstream systems except for the x86. In protected mode this method involves separating each area of memory for a process into units. This is handled by the segment [[Register|registers]]: '''CS, DS, SS, ES, FS, GS''' (CodeSegment, DataSegment, StackSegment, the rest are ExtraSegments).
