What does cache memory mean and what is the simplest way to learn how to use a computer?

Answer

cache memory is just the same as RAM only it is much much faster. This is why there usually isn't much cache because since it is faster, it is far more pricey than standard RAM. Your cache is like golden ram and used to store things that are going to be accessed more than once, or need to be accessed quickly. Just like RAM, once the program is done or once you turn your computer off it is a clean slate and ready to be used again.

Answer

The best way to learn how to use a computer (in my opinion) is to find someone that will take a few minutes to show you the basics and maybe give you some tips on what you should and shouldn't do, then just dive in and explore.
