The invention provides a pseudo set-associative memory cacheing arrangement for use in a data processing system comprising a processor interfacing to a main memory and adapted to support a cache memory. The arrangement comprises a plurality of cache memory banks each comprising a respective number of addressable locations individually defined by a cache address. A plurality of cache select circuits are each associated with a respective one of the cache memory banks and each one is responsive to m most significant bits of a main memory address and control signals for mapping its associated cache memory bank to a predetermined range of addresses in main memory.
