Importance of Cache Memory

Cache Memory is another important part that can be encountered on board the motherboard. Serves as principal assistant (RAM) in running the computer's performance. Although limited in capacity, but has a high speed whose value was also more expensive than main memory. By arrangement works, this component is between main memory and processor registers.
Cache Memory itself, actually terbag into two types, depending on the position where we are. To Cache Memory which is located on the motherboard called the External Cache Memory or also known as the second lever (L2). The memory of this type certainly has a very high speed. Based on the existing default on the motherboard, External Cache Memory has a capacity range of 256 Kb, 512 Kb, 1 Mb, or even 2 MB. Then in addition to the motherboard, Cache Memory is also found in the processor or the so-called Internal Cache Memory. Internal Cache Memory has a speed much higher than the External Cache memory. And this new class processor found in the Pentium III and above. The higher the quality the Internal Cache Memory. A processor then the processor's performance will be the maximum anyway.
