Default IO caching in Intel

wrote in message ups.com...
Hello,
The programmers manual(IA-32/64) for Intel says, that IO is not
cached. Does this mean that say, when an ethernet packet comes in it
does not get cached in the core's cache?

It means addressable PCI space in not cached, like NIC buffers and display RAM.
