Question About the registers.
Is there any way to find how many registers are there in my system.
I am using Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz. My OX is GNU linux.

See http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/.../pdf/art_2.pdf

Especially page 6 "register renaming" for the closest thing to a sensible answer to this question. Dozens of other answers are possible depending on what you mean by "register".

I would find out the appropriate documentation from your CPU vendor on that model.

I am not sure of the command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

will tell you what you need to know.
