Of course, the Intel chipset only supports 32bit registers, with 64bit
math :)  As I recall, last time I read 'Programming the 80386' (or
something... don't remember the exact name, but it was about 4 inches
thick, published by Intel) it stated that when using DIV the answer was
placed in EAX and the remainder in EDX...  Of course, I could be totally
wrong (it's happened efore :)
