Modern or older x86? ;)

There's a difference?

I mean, I know a handful of instructions were stapled onto the
side occasionally throughout the years, and x86_64 made things a
BIT more sane...brought it squarely into the late 1980s...but it's
still pretty ungainly.

I was referring to something like: original 8086 ASM compared with
late-model pentium III ASM. ;)

  Ahhh.   In that case, not a whole lot of difference for app-level stuff.
