These registers are 16-bit registers. They can either work as 16- bit
registers or as two 8-bit registers as shown below-
BASE REGISTER - BX is mainly used for general storage, but it can also
be used for accessing memory. It is the only general purpose registers that
can also works as a pointer .However unlike SI and DI registers, it does not
work with rep prefix.
COUNTER REGISTER - CX is mainly used for general storage ,
but in addition to this it can also be used as an iteration counter
.The Rep prefix, loop instruction shift and rotate instructions all
take counts passed in CX.
