Cache memory is important because it
provides data to a CPU faster than main
memory, which increases the processor's
speed. ... The data that is stored in cache
is usually the data and commands most
often used by the CPU.
Why?
Cache memory holds frequently used
instructions/data which the processor
may require next and it is faster
access memory than RAM, since it is
on the same chip as the processor.

Why
To make your applications run faster
RAM
Why
RAM upgrades are thought to speed
up a computer; however, in actuality,
they help computers avoid
bottlenecking effects when trying to
run a lot of high-memory programs.
How
Random access memory (RAM)
is the best known form of
computer memory.
