Protected mode

The mode that 80286, 80386, and 80486 processors run in by default. When

running in protected mode, these processors are not subject to the same

memory constraints as 8086 processors.

The 80286 processor uses a 24-bit address bus, and can address up to 16 MB

of memory. The 80386 and 80486 processors use a 32-bit address bus, and

can address up to 4 GB of memory.

Protected mode operating provides the capability of multitasking (running

more than one application or process at a time).

Protected mode allocates memory to various processes running concurrently

so that memory used by one process does not overlap memory used by

another process.

By contrast, 8086 processors can address only 1 MB of memory, and can run

only one application or process at a time.

80286, 80386, and 80486 processors can be set to run in real mode, in which

case they emulate an 8086 processor (and are subject to its memory

constraints).
