jod123 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Cache is a faster form of memory than RAM. When the program you are using makes a request to memory to find some data then a whole section of memory is loaded into cache so that the next time the program makes a request to memory it maybe is in the cache which will mean it can access it faster and so can run faster. Someone else can probably explain it better than me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne\'o Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 so if a mother board had a 12mb cache as apposed to 8 mb, it would be far far superior? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neji Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 so if a mother board had a 12mb cache as apposed to 8 mb' date=' it would be far far superior?[/quote']I wouldn't say far far superior but better yeah. Like most hardware components - the higher the number - the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
