Sorry to be rude, butbut...

All x86's, latest Hextiums included, start up in 16 bit dumb-segmented turbo
8086 mode. If you're trying to get it up and running you cannot avoid those
things.

Besides, my first 8086 -architecture chip is from year 1978, a 8088 from
Engineering Sample series C. It's 23 years ago.
