Short answer is difficult, but we need one. Your computer contains all kinds of virtual memory.. on the RAM chips primarily. Maxed-out older computers resort to using space on the disk drive, which is relatively slow. A cache is a saved memory of what you have recently been doing, and is used since it is very fast. It duplicates a finite amount of what is in virtual memory.

What is the difference between cache-memory and primary-memory?
Cache memory is smaller and quicker, primary memory larger and slower.
Is cache memory equal to virtual memory?
No! ; Cache memory is integrated in the CPU. Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive that the OS use as ram memory, when running out of real ram memory.
What is the difference between cache memory disk cache?
memory cache is on memory RAM, disk Cache is on the hard drive. They make things to get faster. For instance Google Earth use this disk cache to show you offline images.
Differentiate between the physical virtual and cache memory Explain briefly?
Virtual memory is a type of memory that is allocated by the operating system and is used to speed up operations. Cache memory is RAM that the CPU can access faster than regular ram which is considered physical memory. When the CPU is looking for data, it checks the cache memory first, recently used data will still be in the cache. If it does not find it there, it moves on to use the physical memory. Anytime a program or file is opened, it is first loaded into RAM (physical memory).
What is the difference between cache memory and primary memory?
they are both different so stop asking dumb questions
What are the type of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What are the two types of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What is the name of the memory that sits between the processor and the primary memory?
Cache
What is the technique of using the hard drive as though it were RAM?
Virtual Memory or Cache would both be acceptable.
Difference between cache memory and ram?
Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory located on the CPU chip that temporarily stores frequently accessed data and instructions to speed up processing. RAM (Random Access Memory) is larger, slower memory that provides temporary storage for data and programs currently in use by the computer. Cache memory is faster but smaller in size compared to RAM.
Special high-speed memory built into the micro processor for the micro processors?
virtual memory
What is it the difference between Random Access and Second-Level-Cache?
the main memory is usually known as RAM.it stores the data & instructions currently needed by CPU but it operates at a very high speed.therefore, the memory should be fast otherwise there will be a speed mismatch between the two& it may led to the wastage of processing time of CPU.to overcome this a very fast memory CACHE MEMORY is placed between the two. so CACHE MEMORY is used to operate at the speed of CPU.it also increases the operating speed.
