What else can I help you with?
What is the term for very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory?
Very fast memory used to store data or instructions between the CPU and regular memory is called cache.
What is the difference between main and auxiliary memory?
The major difference between main memory and auxiliary memory is that main memory is directly accessed by CPU but the auxiliary memory is not accessed by the CPU directly.For this the data is first transferred to main memory from auxiliary memory and then from main memory the data is transferred to the CPU for further processing.

What are the memory storage area built into the CPU called?
registers
Define a system bus in a PC?
The bus between the CPU and memory on the motherboard. Also called the memory bus, front-side bus, local bus, or host bus.
Why Direct memory access has priority over the CPU when both request a memory transfer?
Direct Memory Access (DMA) has priority over the CPU when both request a memory transfer because DMA can access memory independently of the CPU, allowing for simultaneous data transfers. This reduces the burden on the CPU and improves overall system performance. Additionally, DMA transfers are typically faster and more efficient than CPU transfers, making them a preferred choice for handling memory transfers.
When evaluating CPU memory do you check the cache memory?
The only memory on the CPU is cache memory and it is only dependent on the CPU type and generation you use.
What determines speed of computer?
Ram, free memory, if it is compressed, if it is defregmeted lately, what operating of system, what battery settings you have, your internet connection, the temp. of CPU and the processors.
How is data transferred between a CPU and RAM?
A memory management unit (MMU) is a small device between CPU and RAM recalculating the actual memory address, for example to provide an abstraction of virtual memory or other tasks.
Is CPU directly addressable by the memory?
Yes, the CPU is directly addressable by the memory.
What is auxiliary memory give an example of auxiliary memory?
The major difference between main memory and auxiliary memory is that main memory is directly accessed by CPU but the auxiliary memory is not accessed by the CPU directly.For this the data is first transferred to main memory from auxiliary memory and then from main memory the data is transferred to the CPU for further processing. Some examples of auxiliary memory would be disks, external hard drives, USB drives, etc.
Why memory is kept near CPU in a digital computer?
Typically for faster transfer rates to the CPU (also notice that RAM is in between the CPU and the Hard drive connectors)
Where is CPU and memory are located?
output device No The CPU and memory are located on the motherboard
