Cache Memory

The mainboard comes with onboard 512KB (256KB is optional) synchronous
3V Pipeline Burst SRAMs. Cache memory access is very fast compared to main
memory access. The cache holds data for imminent use. Since cache memory is
from five to more than ten times faster than main memory, the CPU’s access
time is reduced, giving you better system performance.

Pentium mainboards may implement various types of L2 cache SRAMs.
Pipeline Burst SRAM is one of them, delivering the best price performance
ratio. They perform much better than asynchronous SRAMs.

NOTE:

The cache memory can not be upgraded by end users.
