Computer Performance
  1. CASHE
    1. What?
      1. 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.
      2. Why?
        1. 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.
      3. Clock speed
        1. What
          1. In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor.
          2. Why
            1. To make your applications run faster
          3. RAM
            1. Why
              1. 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.
              2. How
                1. Random access memory (RAM) is the best known form of computer memory.
