Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series Datasheet, Volume 2
The processor supports PCI Express* upper pre-fetchable base/limit registers. This 
allows the PCI Express unit to claim IO accesses above 36 bits, complying with the PCI 
Express Spec. Addressing of greater than 8 GB is allowed on either the DMI Interface or 
PCI Express interface. The memory controller supports a maximum of 8 GB of DRAM. 
No DRAM memory will be accessible above 8 GB.
When running in internal graphics mode, writes to GMADR range linear range are 
supported. Write accesses to linear regions are supported from DMI only. Write 
accesses to tileX and tileY regions (defined using fence registers) are not supported 
from DMI or the PEG port. GMADR read accesses are not supported from either DMI or 
PEG.
In the following sections, it is assumed that all of the compatibility memory ranges 
reside on the DMI Interface. The exception to this rule is VGA ranges, which may be 
mapped to PCI Express, DMI, or to the internal graphics device (IGD). In the absence 
of more specific references, cycle descriptions referencing PCI should be interpreted as 
the DMI Interface/PCI, while cycle descriptions referencing PCI Express or IGD are 
related to the PCI Express bus or the internal graphics device respectively. The 
Processor does not remap APIC or any other memory spaces above TOLM. The TOLM 
register is set to the appropriate value by BIOS. The reclaim base/reclaim limit 
registers remap logical accesses bound for addresses above 4 GB onto physical 
addresses that fall within DRAM.

Memory Address Space
shows the 
IIO 
system memory address space. There are three basic regions 
of memory address space in the system: address below 1 MB, address between 1 MB 
and 4 GB, and address above 4 GB. These regions are described in the following 
sections.
Throughout this section, there will be references to subtractive decode port. It refers to 
the port of IIO that is attached to a legacy PCH (DMI). This port is also the recipient of 
all addresses that are not positively decoded towards any PCIE device or towards 
memory. Refer to
