"RAM" is Random Access Memeory. It's the high speed memory that's on the motherboard and allows the computer to load instructions and data quickly into the processor during normal operation.
"Swap" space is an area on the computer disk that has been reserved as space for overflow. When there are too many applications CURRENTLY RUNNING or applications that are CURRENTLY RUNNING that are too large, large blocks of data are swapped into the swap space, freeing up some of the high speed memory.
Typically, if the operating system is reasonably intelligent, data is only swapped to disk that is not currently being used.
Excessive disk swapping will slow your computer dramatically. It's always a good idea to remove unnecessary applications from your startup.
Your computer can have many applications on disk, as well as a lot of data. Only the CURRENTLY RUNNING applications can be impacted by swap space.
ram is the primary memory of computer while cache is the small memory space between CPU and ram where processor keeps frequently used instruction so that we can utilize from cache memory itself instead of disturbing processor every time..
it enhance the speed of system..
Its the same thing only virtual memory is used in Windows and swap space is a term used in Linux O.S
memory cache is on memory RAM, disk Cache is on the hard drive. They make things to get faster. For instance Google Earth use this disk cache to show you offline images.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is used to store information for the programs running now while the computer is powered. Cache memory is RAM that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.
The other Name of RAM Cache is Disk Cache
Cache is faster than RAM...
cache
Same as L2 cache.On Apple Macintosh computers, the term RAM cache refers to a disk cache.
short answer : cache chip is more expensive than ram
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
CACHE is multidimensional and postconsonantal database and its supporting scripting
memory cache is a small amount of RAM (referred to as static RAM) that is much faster than the rest of the RAM, which is called dynamic RAM (DRAM).
A memory cache is small amount of RAM that is much faster than the rest of RAM?
