The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
This means the processor runs at a frequency of 1.85 gigahertz. In other words (ie.) the processor's instruction counter increments 1.85 billion times per second. If we assume that this is measured in megabytes (ie. 512 MB of RAM) then the computer has 0.5 gigabytes of memory. The memory of a computer is the amount of RAM it has. Notice that the amount memory is normally a multiple of two. A gigabyte of RAM ( 1 GB ) amounts to 1024 megabytes (1024 MB) of memory.
It minimizes the miss match between the main memory and the processor Actually, there is one reason for a cache to exist: speed. A cache exists to speed up the time that the processor takes to obtain a bit of data. Typically, main memory is many times slower than the processor - in modern computers, it can be 1000 times slower. So, caches are made up of memory more expensive and faster than main memory, to store parts of main memory in, in the hopes that the data the processor wants will be available in the cache.

16 GB with one processor system and 32 GB with the 2 processor system
32 bit processor can access 4294967296 bit memory adderss.
The elements (individual cells) in memory need to be addressed by an integer number. The amount of memory that can be addressed depends on the largest integer number that can be represented (as patterns of '0s'-electricity 'off', and '1s'-electricity 'on') on a computer bus (a bundle of wires called lines). Thus the more wires available to hold the pattern, the larger the integer number that can be represented and the more memory that can be directly addressed.
The Type of transfers that must a computer interconnection structure support thats a bus is the following: (1) Memory to Processor (2) Processor to Memory (3) I/O to Processor (4) Processor to I/O (5) I/O to or from Memory
processor and main memory
Usually, a computer is sold with the minimum amount of Random Access Memory installed for the computer to work properly. Increasing the amount of memory will usually result in much faster processing. If that is not sufficient, it may be possible to overclock the processor, but that is extremely dangerous, and can result in the processor burning up. Do not attempt this without skilled assistance.
The memory unit's size that depends on the processor is the bit.
Processing speed is far more important than cache size. Cache is a small amount of memory located in, or around the processor that is used to store small amounts of information that the processor can refer to as a quick reference. There are millions of bits flowing through cache memory every time the processor works. Any more, there is a standard amount of cache memory that is in every processor. Speed is a totally different thing and almost has nothing to do with cache size. Speed is definitely more important.
The maximum size of a cache memory is theoretically equal to the amount of primary memory(RAM).Like Cache only memory architecture where the whole memory space is filled up with the cache only.
dynamic memory
The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
The memory that the computer processor accesses directly is primary memory. It is wired directly to the processor. RAM is primary memory on a computer.
