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)

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)
