I didn't change it but in my opinion the use of "memory address" in the article is confusing, e.g.

memory caches, which attempt to load a range of memory addresses at a time, under the assumption that the excess memory addresses will be loaded soon after.

I would have thought of memory content (or just memory) being loaded and later on accessed, not addresses. But I'm not a native speaker.

Markus,

I agree with your assessment. Informally speaking, one can "load an address", but it is more proper to load the contents at an address. --Nick Johnson 13:38, 21 February 2007 (CST)

swap?

how about memory swapping, quite common in microsoft/unix/mac and all databases.Robert Tito | Talk 13:44, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Stub

This:

{{stub}}

does not belong on the page itself, but only on the talk page; and besides, it's no longer a stub, is it? --Larry Sanger 14:28, 21 February 2007 (CST)

...nice to come upon such an opinion, I've just started to clean it up and asked for speedydelete. --AlekStos 10:21, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
