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.
A cache hit occurs when the requested data is found in the cache memory, while a cache miss occurs when the data is not found in the cache and needs to be retrieved from the main memory. One can determine whether a cache hit or miss has occurred by checking if the requested data is present in the cache 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.
The miss penalty in cache is calculated by determining the time it takes to access data from the main memory when a cache miss occurs. This time includes the latency of fetching the data from the main memory and loading it into the cache. The miss penalty is the additional time required when data is not found in the cache and needs to be retrieved from the main memory.
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.
"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
external cache or level 2 or L2 cache
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.
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.
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.
media reader/ card reader/ memory card, reader or writer
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.
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..
No cache memory is not visible.....
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Memory slots
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.
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.
