Despite how amazingly vague your question is, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

The amount of memory your computer needs varies depending on what tasks you tend to do on it. I'm going to assume that you're trying to run a modern operating system like Windows XP or Vista, so keep that in mind if you're using older stuff. Here's a general chart (add on 256 MB or so for Vista):

Lightweight applications, word processing etc.: 256 MB

Lightweight gaming, basic video processing: 512 MB

Moderate gaming, higher level video work, basic 3D animation: 768 MB

Heavy gaming, HD video work, Complex 3D animation: 1024+ MB

I hope this helps you some, but if you need more information, ask a more specific question, and someone will answer your question sooner or later.

What is a cache?

Answer:- The Cache memory is placed between the CPU and the main memory. It is a fast speed memory and is expensive and faster than the main memory. Cache memory is used to store the frequently accessed data of main memory. The instructions that are frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache memory. It is used to reduce the average access time for address, instructions or data, which are normally stored in the main memory. Cache memory increases the operating speed of the system. But is much costlier than main memory. From economic considerations, the capacity of the cache memory is much less as compared to main memory..
