>I have no idea what a "lookaside" bus is. It's "backside" bus, and it is a cache between the CPU and the mobo.
A "lookaside" cache is used in virtual-to-real addressing. It contains the results of the addressing unit's most recent coversions from virtual addresses to real addresses, and it dramatically speeds up future virtual to real address conversions by associating a specific VBN (virtual block number) with a specific RBN (real block number). The displacement within a block stays the same, so the lookaside cache need maintain only a small portion of the real and virtual addresses ... that part which is the block number. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
