I would like to know, if there is a standard column width, when I use

.TS
expand allbox;
ll.

.TE
The second column is always wrapped after 22/23 chars [1]. Is this
intended behaviour?
I'm sure there's a formulaic reason for tbl to do the things it does,
but I've never gotten curious enough to root around in the source and
figure out what it is. :-)
But for short entries like you have in the example table, you could
eliminate the T{ T} constructs and get it to work:
.TS
expand allbox;
l l .
"0x10000000" Disable AGP 4x (forces 8x).
"0x20000000" Disable AGP 8x (forces 4x).
.TE
One thing I have noticed, when you don't use T{ T}, tbl won't wrap
even if the row runs off the end of the paper.
