A computer memory system connectable to a processor and having programmable operational characteristics based on characteristics of the processor. The memory system includes several caches and a main memory connected to a bus. One cache can be programmed to store only code data. Another cache can be programmed to buffer data writes to the main memory only from the processor. The main memory supports fast page mode and can be programmed to selectively reopen either code or non-code data pages.

Computer memory system having programmable operational characteristics

A method for reading a multiple byte data element stored in both first and second memories. Selected bytes of the data element are invalidated in the first memory. Valid bytes from the first memory are combined with remaining bytes from the second memory in response to a read request.
