We have used the verbal system, but what about the musical subsystem of the auditory system of the brain? For many people the activation of this system by a particular kind of music leads to a relaxing effect. Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute. There are people who find a heavy drum-beat relaxing.

'might well not be' means almost exactly the same as 'might not be'



The 'well' is just used for emphasis.



Look at this previous thread https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/235501/difference-between-may-and-may-well



EDIT



Some alternatives (including some of Andrew's suggestions).




Note that the music isn't necessarily a gentle flute.



Note that the music could be something other than a gentle flute.



Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute.



Note that the music doesn't have to be a gentle flute.



Note that the music is not required to be a gentle flute.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
