Virtual memory is defined as an abstraction of the main memory that extends the available computer memory by storing parts of content RAM that are not active. Cache memory is where data that is accessed often is stored so you are able to have quick access to it.

Differentiate between the physical virtual and cache memory Explain briefly?

Virtual memory is a type of memory that is allocated by the operating system and is used to speed up operations. Cache memory is RAM that the CPU can access faster than regular ram which is considered physical memory. When the CPU is looking for data, it checks the cache memory first, recently used data will still be in the cache. If it does not find it there, it moves on to use the physical memory. Anytime a program or file is opened, it is first loaded into RAM (physical memory).


What is the difference between ram ROM cmos cache and virtual memory?

Short answer is difficult, but we need one. Your computer contains all kinds of virtual memory.. on the RAM chips primarily. Maxed-out older computers resort to using space on the disk drive, which is relatively slow. A cache is a saved memory of what you have recently been doing, and is used since it is very fast. It duplicates a finite amount of what is in virtual memory.
