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.

How can one determine whether a cache hit or miss has occurred?
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.
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.
How is the miss penalty in cache calculated?
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.
How does a direct mapped cache handle 4-word blocks?
A direct mapped cache assigns each block of memory to a specific location in the cache. With 4-word blocks, each block is stored in a specific cache line based on its memory address. This means that each block of memory can only be stored in one specific location in the cache, making it easy to determine where to look for a specific block of memory.
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 are the memory slots in the motherboard called?
Memory slots
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 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.
