That aint actually what you guys think. it is simply hardware DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION (DEP). It is not only the AMDs that support this. Even Intel processors starting from the Pentium IVs support this very useful feature.

Actually, hardware DEP is all about making the Hardware, which is the processor, to suport the software, which is the operating system, say...Windows XP for instance, in fighting against viruses and malicious softwares and codes. It stops any file or progrm from writing malicious codes through the operating system.

QUOTE(AMD website)
Enhanced Virus Protection in combination with Windows® XP SP2 sets portions of system memory aside as “data only” meaning that any code resident in these areas may not be executed, only read from or written to.

that is why some voice recorders begginers write won't work
because some begginners set it to write the recorded file into memory
instead of temporary folder
