Abstract
A computer system including a memory controller configured to perform pre-fetch operations. A computer system includes a first system memory, a second system memory and a first and a second memory controller which are coupled to the first and second system memories, respectively. Each system memory may include at least one memory module including volatile storage. The first memory controller may be configured read data from the first system memory corresponding to an address of a current memory request. Further the second memory controller may be configured to selectively pre-fetch data from the second system memory depending upon selected address bits of the address of the current memory request.
