CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern
PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU
requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the
main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the
CPU. These items allow you to enable (speed up memory access)
or disable the cache function. By default, these are
Enabled .
