Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The inbox post describes a shift to PM64-only x86 with FRED and APX, eliminating segmentation and legacy paging, introducing 5-level paging (PML5) with larger page sizes, and identity-mapped options. It also notes deprecation of Legacy Mode, SMM, and advocates migrating to x86 software emulation.
