Ok.  Ultra-simple assembler question for you guys...

In 386 assembler I need to fill an extended register with 4 copies
of the same byte.  Right now I'm using the following:

   mov  al,VALUE
   mov  ah,VALUE
   shl  eax,16
   mov  al,VALUE
   mov  ah,VALUE

I'm curious... is there a better/faster way to stuff the register?
