    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a memory hit rate and efficiency by an adaptive estima tion read. SOLUTION: A bridge logic unit which connects a CPU bus 103 and a PCI bus is equipped with a CPU interface 204 equipped with a CPU bus interface control unit 302. The control unit 302 fetches one data line from a main memory under the control of a fetch control unit when receiving a 1st read request from a CPU and fetches not only the requested data line, but also a successive data line by estimation when receiving a read request for the successive data line. When the CPU makes a memory read request for a nonsuccessive data line, only the data line is fetched. By this estimation fetching, the memory read efficiency is improved.
