I mean claiming machine details that have nothing to do with novelty such as "...; and wherein the received xxx is stored in one or more locations in a memory hardware buffer." Clearly, clauses like this do not support novelty but neither are they practically limiting because every computer does this. Sometimes it took more effort/amendments, but this shows the general idea. Though, I guess such amendments could be seen as limiting old-school business method claims, but I don't consider business method patents to be software patents.
