Look at the chipset description. It has lots of write buffers for PCI and
memory access by the CPU, and for memory access by PCI bus masters, and
some other things I don't want to list now. ;)

Most of the time it's not worth saving anything to local storage. In this
case, you can get a good idea of the chipset features from the description
on the page. No need to save that. It's not a manual of any sort.
