Regarding segments:
In 64 bit mode CS DS SS and ES are still there but forced to 0, but are still around and FS and GS can still be non-0.
In 32 bit mode they still exist and all 6 are functional afaik.

Thanks for the info, I know they existed in 32bit, but didn't know about them in 64-bit
I don't hate segments just because, but because of the whole 64k limitation in 16 bit
(And real mode, and programs fighting for 640k while the machine had 4Mb, etc)
