4.5.2.3 CPU L1 and L2 Cache / CPU L3 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
items are Enabled.
