I don't know if it's the best book available, but you could check out 'Ar=

Assembly'. This book is published electronically and can be downloaded fr=

happy reading!=20

The URL is: http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/Page_AoAWin/0_AoAHLA.html

Also, both Intel and AMD publish extensive reference guides on their=20

You can find these on the following url's:

AMD:   =20

The most important advice I can give you is not to be overwhelmed by the =

size of these books. In total these three links point to over 6000 pages =
