Assembly syntax

the keywords are more, not sure how many instructions x86 has exactly, but it''s hardly comparable since there is no real syntactical rules like in c because the asm instructions map directly to machine instructions the cpu understands

You don''t really need to memorize much, there''s basically no rules (unlike in c or c++). As for learning the opcodes themselves you''ll remeber the common ones and there''s always the intel manuals for the ones that you can''t remember.

There are two manuals full of instructions for the pentium4,
so how many opcodes is that?

Ive got another question(kinda off topic): does anyone know how to make DevC++ generate readable Assembly files (so i can see the assembly code it generates for hello world)?
