What else can I help you with?
Which of the memory unit can be accessed more rapidly by processor?
RAM
What is special high speed memory that allows the processor to access data more rapidly than from memory located elsewhere on the system board?
cache memory
Where is frequently accessed data stored?
Frequently accessed data is often stored in a cache memory, which is a smaller, faster type of memory that sits between the main memory (RAM) and the processor. Caching helps improve performance by allowing the processor to access frequently used data more quickly than if it had to retrieve it from the main memory every time.
Where are the most frequently used files held?
I think you are referring to what is called cache memory. (rhymes with 'cash') Cache is a portion of computer memory reserved for frequently used information, so that the information can be accessed more rapidly than retrieving it from the hard drive, or from the 'regular memory'
Buying more memory for a AMD Athlon 64?
You cannot buy more memory for a processor. You can however buy memory for your computer. More memory means a faster computer, but suffers from diminishing returns.
Is cache memory a form of read only that can be accessed more quicky by the CPU?
yes
Which one is faster controller or processor why?
controller performs its operations faster than processor because controller has memory in it so it takes less time cycles for fetching of address or data from memory where as in processor memory is connected externally so time taken will be more to perform its operations.
What is the Type of memory that stores frequently and recently accessed data and commands which can then be access by the computer more quickly than RAM memory?
cache
Which is better a windows inspiron with 5 GB memory and dualcore processor with 500 GB harddrive or a desktop hp with 6 GB memory a quadcore processor and 1 tb harddrive?
desktop hp with 6 gb memory a quadcore processor and 1 tb hard drive because it has more HD space and RAM memory
When you have a 3.2 ghz quad core does that mean that each processor is 800 mhz?
No. Each processor core is 3.2gHz. The bottleneck is the bus interface, but the compromise is that each core tends to spend more time executing instructions than accessing memory. Even so, L1 and L2 cache improves the situation by caching memory, so you get the best of both worlds. If, however, all the cores randomly accessed wide areas of memory, performance would suffer.
Which is more important cache size or processor speed?
Processing speed is far more important than cache size. Cache is a small amount of memory located in, or around the processor that is used to store small amounts of information that the processor can refer to as a quick reference. There are millions of bits flowing through cache memory every time the processor works. Any more, there is a standard amount of cache memory that is in every processor. Speed is a totally different thing and almost has nothing to do with cache size. Speed is definitely more important.
Which is more desirable i3 processor and 6GB memory or i5 processor and 4GB memory?
Memory is more important than the type of processor. Unless you are about to run programs like photoshop or premier pro or in Apple's case, Final Cut Pro, then you probably want the Core i5. A memory upgrade is easy and it is cheap. Do it yourself instead of letting the factory install it for you. It will save you a good amount of money. But for most people, Core i3 with 6 GB of memory is better. For more answers like this, go to jamesrealtech.com
