1. A method of operating a memory hub coupled to a plurality of memory devices, the method comprising:
checking if the memory hub is servicing a memory request;
if the memory hub is not busy servicing a memory request, initially transmitting a portion of a received memory request from the memory hub to the memory devices, and scheduling the remaining portion of the received memory request for subsequent transmission from the memory hub to the memory devices; and
if the memory hub is busy servicing a memory request, scheduling the received memory request for subsequent transmission from the memory hub to the memory devices.
