Address decode

Machine-readable media, methods, and apparatus are described which process memory transactions. In some embodiments, a processor or other external components provide a memory controller with decoded memory addresses. The memory controller then may access the memory with the processor decoded address without decoding the address itself. In other embodiments, a processor or other external components provide a memory controller with partially decoded memory addresses. The memory controller then generates? a decoded address from the partially decoded address and may access the memory with the generated decoded address.
