    Would someone be so kind as to help me understand this bit of code:

    Code:
      mov ecx,0x17
    rdmsr
    test eax,0x8000 
    jnz 0xb430
    clc
    mov edx,eax
    and dx,0x1f1f
    mov bh,dh
    
    Does the test eax,0x8000 test to see if bit 15 = 1?

    So it does not only check bit 15...
