What is immediate access?
immediate access memory
Where will the CPU store data for easy access and quick retrieval during these computations?
CPU's will have a number of small local data storage points called "registers". These registers only hold small amounts of data and provide the fastest possible access.
What is immediate memory?
immediate access memory
What is the function of immediate access store?
· This holds the data and programs needed at that instant by the Control Unit. The CPU reads data and programs kept on the hard disk and stores them temporarily in the IAS's memory. This is because the hard disk is too slow to be able to run applications directly.

How does cache work?
Cache memory is a place for the CPU to store important data but still have quick access to it. The cache acts as a middleman, providing data to the CPU at full speed while it is obtaining data from the SDRAM.
Temporarily holds data and instruction as the CPU processes them?
Random Access
Is CPU needed to access internet?
A CPU is needed to do anything with a computer, including accessing the internet.

Can you store data in the CPU for a long time?
Hmmm, a CPU (processor) stores no data. RAM or Memory can store data as long as the computer is ON and the Hard Drive can store data indefinately (forever).
What part of the computer directs the acitvites in the CPU?
The fastest components such as CPU and primary memory travel through the north bridge. Inside the actual CPU there are various caches. A modern Intel architecture (x86) CPU has an L1,L2 and L3 cache. CPU cache is important as it reduces the time needed to access the primary memory. Usually L1 is purely for instructions, and L2 can store small amounts of data. And L3 works with both of them..
