memory cache is on memory RAM, disk Cache is on the hard drive. They make things to get faster. For instance Google Earth use this disk cache to show you offline images.

Why is cache memory more expensive than hard disk?

as the cache memory is mory faster than RAM or hard disk ,but the main reason is that the cache memory has comparator and storage medium at the same time, the comparator checks if the address of the value being accessed is in the associative memory(a part of cache)or not, and the ordinary memory(another part of cache)has the data....

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.


What is the difference between catch and cookies?

I think you might be referring to cache? Cache is memory (RAM or disk) that is used for storing data (i.e. a website's contents) so that it does not need to be downloaded again (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache). Cookies are little files on your computer that store your usage information about a website you've visited (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie).

Can ram serve as memory cache?

Yes but it has very important quotes. Cache memory is pretty fast (compared to something). Cache memory trends to be small but it is not imperative. Then, for example Main RAM on your PC is pretty faster than your Hard Disk Drive, you can "Cache" some common and useful files or data (storing temporary on Main RAM) in order to improve the delays that would be produced if you use them from your hard disk drive directly.


Use of cache memory?

The CPU uses cache memory to store instructions that are repeatedly required to run programs, improving overall system speed. The advantage of cache memory is that the CPU does not have to use the motherboard's system bus for data transfer. Whenever data must be passed through the system bus, the data transfer speed slows to the motherboard's capability. The CPU can process data much faster by avoiding the bottleneck created by the system bus.
