XIP is short for Execute in place. And that is exactly what it is designed for.
Fair enough, so we'll use 0x204,5 and separate code. I assume it will speed things up, have to test it in a day or so. As it is, the 5 sec delay makes compression hard to live with.
I am also assuming the Via C3 has the variable MTRRs, that may not be a correct assumption. The Intel book says P6 family.
