What is the diference between processor and "L1 or L2 Cache"?
150264
They are completely different things\nA processor CONTAINS L1 and L2 Cache. L1 and L2 are onboard memory chips which usually speed up the CPU.\nprocessor=empty brain\nL1,L2,L3 Caches=brain cells

duo-core processors are 2 different processors but are linked. the reason they have this is it makes processing faster. if you have one single processor..it does all the work, it has to process that much more stuff. the duo-core utilizes 2 seperate processors to make the computer run faster, only one of the processors will be doing the job (and have to process less). if you have a duo 1.83...it has the equivalent of a 2.66 ghz processor. but when you choose to do something, it only uses the one needed (1.83) and it doesn't have to process as much info as a normal 2.66. and yes if one processor fails..neither are any good.

Core - The Celeron chip is based on a Pentium 4 core. \n\nCache - Celeron chips have less cache memory than Pentium 4 chips do. A Celeron might have 128 kilobytes of L2 cache, while a Pentium 4 can have four times that. The amount of L2 cache memory can have a big effect on performance. \n\nClock speed - Intel manufactures the Pentium 4 chips to run at a higher clock speed than Celeron chips. The fastest Pentium 4 might be 60 percent faster than the fastest Celeron. \n\nBus speed - There are differences in the maximum bus speeds that the processors allow. Pentium 4s tend to be about 30 percent faster than Celerons\n\nBut yes you should have no problem running a game needing a 1ghz processor with a 2ghz celeron processor.

cache memory is a very fast SRAM that sits between processor and main memory(usually DRAM).\nit helps increase the performance of the processor.

In General ALL THESE ARE MEMORY.\nIf we consider the time taken to access data in the memory;\nCACHE < RAM < HARD DISK\n\nIf we consider cost in relation to capacity;\nCACHE > RAM > HARD DISK\n\nHowever, you cant upgrade Cache simply but others u can

Dual core processors employ two cores inside the chip. This increases the speed and efficiency of the processor.\n\nhttp://developer.intel.com/products/processor/coreduo/index.htm

No, you can not say this. It depends on the programming of the application. In several benchmark tests a higher clocked single core CPU is still faster than a dual core CPU.\nI found a good article where the two processors Intel Pentium D 820 (dual core) and Pentium 4 670 (single core HT) are put in opposition.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/pentiumd-820/index.x?pg=1

There is a big difference in the architecture of both CPUs. An AMD CPU has an integrated memory controller. This serves as a link between the CPU and the memory (RAM). Intel CPUs do not have this, so it relies on another chip to serve as the link with the memory. This saves up space on the CPU, so Intel decided to increase the cache size on their CPUs.\nMore details.\nBecause AMD has the integrated mem controller, it performs faster than an Intel CPU with same clock speed. You have to know that it is not the CPU clock speed that matters, but the FSB clock speed. So if you need a 'fast computer' you need a lot of memory (RAM) and a high FSB.

Yes, this is how it will show up in Windows. For example, my processor is a 1.4GHz and it shows up as 1398 MHz. That 2 MHz will not make a difference, so it's always close to your actual processing speed.\n\nThe same goes for Hard drives. For example, on the box, you'll see 250 GB, but when you go home and plug it in and format, you'll see about 232 GB.

As far as I understand on a processor with HT the operating system would recognize it as two processors. (Ofcourse there are other design options, but this is the simplest choice and keeps the OS independent of the way the threads are scheduled).

Cache memory is a small storage area that a processor can access more quickly than from RAM.  The CPU will store information already read in from RAM in cache, so that if the same information is needed again, it can be retrieved more quickly.

It's usually in the BIOS options. Start computer and press either DEL or F2, look around for caching and shadowing, and turn said options off. I had a similar problem, but it turned out not to be caching/shadowing at all, but a faulty DirectX installation.

You know this topic is too extensive to cover here. \n\nThere is some good reference material covering both types of processors here: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm \n\nIn Pentium class processors, there also model-specific registers  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm

Just about everything.  But mainly games and high-end software like video editing, photo editing... anything that requires lots of horsepower.  The more cache a CPU has the more instruction it can store close (on) the CPU and it will excute everything faster.  L1 cache is the fastest and the AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego) has 64KB+64KB (128KB) of L1 cache and 1MB of L2 cache.  This varies among processors, Semprons have less and Athlons have more.  The same applies to Intel with the Pentium 4 and Pentium Ds, they have more and the Celerons have less.\n\nIt does matter.  See how slow a Sempron 3100+ is compared to a Athlon 3000+, despite the Sempron having a faster core, you will find that the Athlon 3000+ is actually and performs tasks faster than the Sempron.\n\nThis link might help you, http://www.computerworld.com/networkingtopics/networking/lanwan/story/0,10801,44333,00.html

ok..\nproxy=A gateway that relays one Internet session to anothe\n\ninternat cache=a Web cache fills requests from the Web server, stores the requested information locally, and sends the information to the client; the next time the web cache gets a request for the same information, it simply returns the locally cached data instead of searching over the Internet, thus reducing Internet traffic and response time.
