Information is stored in temporary storage and subsequently transferred to a memory over a bus. The temporary storage is provided with a plurality of entries each of which has a selected size that is smaller than a size of the bus. Information that is designated for a common area of the memory is stored in different entries, and the different entries are linked. Before being transferred to memory, the information from linked entries is assembled. The assembled information is then transferred over the bus to memory. Embodiments of the temporary storage include a write queue and a write buffer.
