Memory slot is a place where a memory can introduced to a system. It is an interface to add a memory device. This can be various types. For introduce primary memory we use tha RAM slot. Or for secondary memory interfacing we use different types of interfacing, such as PATA, SATA etc. But for RAM interfacing we require to match FSB (BUS Speed) of the memory device, such as FSB 400 or 667 or 800 etc.
External chache is noting but a chache memory that is attached to a computer system to optimise its performance. It is used to boost up the performance of a conventional computers.

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.
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
What is temporary storage on chips called?
Temporary storage on chips is called memory. Most such solid-state memory is in the form of random-access memory (RAM) chips, usually dynamic RAM (DRAM). The people who write operating systems and the computer architects that design computer systems and CPUs often use many different temporary storage areas, each one with a different name. If you are building a high-speed computer or writing a high-performance operating system, you will learn about the temporary storage areas known as the disk page cache, the stack, the heap, and the virtual memory page table, are (more or less) stored in the main memory DRAM. The CPU has a few temporary locations called registers. Often there is one or more levels of cache (the L1 cache, the L2 cache, etc.) between the CPU and the main memory. High-performance CPUs typically put a cache on the same chip as the CPU; some older personal computers had an "external cache" SRAM chips between the CPU chip and the main memory DRAM chips. Many high-performance computers have several levels of successively larger and slower caches -- an extremely fast I-cache and D-cache and TLB, the L1 cache, the L2 cache, the L3 cache, and main memory.
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)
Is cache memory found on the motherboard?
external cache or level 2 or L2 cache
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 assosciative mapped cache?
An associative cache is a cache that has 1 or more extra slots for each place in memory. So if two pieces of memory map to the same place in cache, you can write both entries. In this case, you will need a cache replacement policy to determine which gets evicted first when it's full and new data arrives.
What provides slots for memory cards and can be an internal or external device?
media reader/ card reader/ memory card, reader or writer
What is the difference between internal and external cache?
Internal cache is stored in a reserved area of the RAM of your computer. External cache is also called secondary cache or level 2 cache memory. It is external to the microprocessor and is stored on a separate chip.
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
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..
What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
What was the first Intel CPU to contain an external cache?
The first Intel CPU to feature external cache was the Intel Pentium Pro. External cache is also referred to as L2 cache, while internal cache is called L1 cache.
What are the memory slots in the motherboard called?
Memory slots
What is an example of L2 cache memory size?
Level 2 (L2) cache is built onto the processor. On Older slot-mounted processors, L2 cache was external to the processor die, and ran at slower speeds than the processor. on socketed processors, L2 cache is built onto the processor. If the processor does not find the desired memory locations in L1 cache, it checks L2 cache next. However Processors with larger L2 caches perform most tasks much more quickly than processors that have smaller L2 caches for two reasons. Cache memory is faster than main memory and the processor checks cache memory for needed information before checking main memory.
