Can you increase cache memory by allocating memory from static RAM?

"No you cannot. Cache is built into the CPU like 256k or 512k or 1meg.What ever is in your CPU that's what you have. If you want more cache you need to upgrade your CPU. Hope this helps" BLA BLA BLA.......you can with windows 7 manager...or via registry edit....go to register search "secondleveldatacache"and edit in decimal and test cache that you what to use ...i you what to have 2 mb cacahe in a cpu that have only 512k it will work seriosly ;) work to me and other friend that i used this ;) you will fill the performance increse every time you increse the cache to a god level if you increse too much like 8 mega the cpu will slow...see yourself

Cache memory may be static or dynamic but with most modern microprocessors cache memory is internal to the CPU package and could only be expanded by replacing the microprocessor, not by adding external.
In some multiprocessor systems there is an external cache called L3 cache, some implementations of this are expandable, however adding L3 cache to a single CPU machine won't help any.
cache memory efficiency is derived from its ability to perform parallel search which is incorporated in its hardware .so if we use a part of main memory as cache then that process won't be very efficient but we can use main memory as cache for harddisk.

Is cache memory a removable memory?
No, a cache memory is often used to store data that has been needed recently on grounds that it will be faster to access when/if it is needed again. When data that is requested is contained in the cache you have a cache hit, and when you have to retrieve it from the hard drive (or where ever its original storage was) again it is called a cache miss. Retrieving data from the hard drive is slower than retrieving it from the cache.
What stores frequently used instructions and data?
Memory cache stores frequently used instructions and data on a computer. Cache memory is stored on a memory chip in an area of the RAM.
What do you know about cache?
cache is the type of memory within the CPU. It is extremely fast and is very small storage wise (it only comes in megabytes)
What are the different types of random access memory?
the two main types of RAM are: SRAM- static random access memory which is faster but more expensive it also takes up valuable space. It tends to be used for cache memory and it doesnt have to be periocically refreshed. DRAM- dynamic random access memory, the most common type of RAM, an advantage of DRAM is its structural simplicity.
Is a DRAM variation that is designed for computers with multi-core processors?
That would be DDR-3 memory. Some multi-core systems use DDR-2 memory. Then of course there is cache memory, but that is a variation of SRAM, and it has been used ever since the 386 or 486 machines. Nowadays, cache memory is not in discrete chips, but a part of the processor. Placing the cache memory and memory controller on the CPU die greatly improves the throughput.
Is Cache memory in static ram?
Yes the cache memory is a static memory because if the static memory if we want to clear the memory the memory was clear because of this property it is static memory.
What type of memory is used for L1 cache?
Static RAM or SRAM
What is made up with cache memory?
S RAM...static ram
What is the cache memory required for the system to be fast?
Cache memory is special, high-speed static memory that is used to reduce the amount of accesses to dynamic RAM. While cache memory used to be on the motherboard, it is now most commonly found inside the CPU. Static memory is larger, costlier to produce, and uses more current than DRAM. But static memory is the fastest type of memory there is and it doesn't need refreshed (so long as the power is maintained). So cache is a compromise to store the most used code and data to reduce the access to the slower DRAM.
What is used for a memory cache and is contained within the processor housing?
SRAM (Static RAM)
Memory cache is referred to as?
memory cache is a small amount of RAM (referred to as static RAM) that is much faster than the rest of the RAM, which is called dynamic RAM (DRAM).
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.
Why does the speed of a computer increase as soon as we increase the size of the cache memory?
Basically for the same reason that cache itself helps increase the speed. If there is more cache memory, the computer will have more information readily available, and there will be less cases where the information CAN'T be found in cache, and the CPU needs to access actual RAM, which is slower (or whatever other source of data the cache is supposed to speed up).
Cache memory and register memory?
Register memory are smaller in size than cache memory and registers are faster than cache..Cache memory store the frequently used data from main memory..
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
What is called A reserved area of the immediate access memory used to increase the running speed of the computer program?
cache memory
