Win XP SP2 Memory protection

[Praveer]

One of the changes in SP2 is memory protection.
32 and 64 bit processors will give no-execute (NX)
protection
As per changes, User mode execution protection will result
in STATUS_ACCESS_VOILATION exception.
How can I test if my application code is loaded on NX
blocks.

Read the small print: Only applies to *certain* processors.
