A method and apparatus are for use with a computer system. Write requests to store data in one or more memory locations that are collectively associated with a cache line are received. The first requests are combined to furnish a memory operation. The computer system may include a peripheral device that furnishes a stream of data to be stored in a memory, and the apparatus may include first and second interfaces, a queue and logic. The first interface is adapted to convert a portion of the stream of data into a first request, and the queue is adapted to store the second request. The logic is adapted to determine if the first and second requests target memory locations that are collectively associated with a cache line and based on the determination, selectively combine the first and second requests. The second interface is adapted to furnish a memory operation in response to the combination of the first and second requests. The requests may be, as examples, read requests and/or write requests.
