1. Memory Type Range Registers video> MTRR Registers in the Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors that can be used to specify a strategy for communication with the external memory and caches for a number of physical address ranges. Strategies include write-through, write-back, or uncached?. Such control is useful where the memory is located on a device and is accessed via some kind of device bus, e. g. a PCI or AGP graphics card, where caching would be of no benefit.
