About CPU cache RAM

The CPU must deliver its data at a very high speed. The regular RAM can not keep up with that speed. Therefore, a special RAM type called cache is used as a buffer - temporary storage. To get top performance from the CPU, the number of outgoing transactions must be minimized. The more data transmissions, which can be contained inside the CPU, the better the performance. Therefore,the 486 was equipped with a built in mathematical co-processor, floating point unit and 8 KB L1-cache RAM. These two features help minimize the data flow in and out of the CPU.

Cache RAM becomes especially important in clock doubled CPU's, where internal clock frequency is much higher than external. Then the cache RAM enhances the "horsepower" of the CPU, by allowing faster receipt or delivery of data. Beginning with 486 processors, two layers of cache are employed. The fastest cache RAM is inside the CPU. It is called L1 cache. The next layer is the L2 cache, which are small SRAM chips on the system board. See at the illustration below:

Some Safety precautions while working with Computer

Many people are suffering with headache, stress, body pains, irritation, eye strain etc while using the Computer continuously, some safety precautions i share here below to avoid some problems. your brain works more than other times while using computer Don't sit continuously in-front of PC, take a break between every 30 mins and do eye exercise, i also mention methods of eye exercise end of the post. Don't work in Dark room, must put on a light Don't bee closer to the Display keep some distance Reduce Brightness for medium as your comfort Use anti-glare lens for safety if you have Eye exercise Blink your eyes every 4 or 5 seconds as i heard from Doctor, its an easy thing but while we sit in-front of PC we can't remember so, be make a habit of it.

Tweezers

This tool is used tp piking up very small objects like small screws that are inconvenient to pick with human hand.

Memory

All computer memories is used to hold binary strings of data to be manipulated by the CPU. Memory refers to a chip that stores data. The processor retrieves the information stored in the memory for processing the data.
