what is dis advantage of web cache?

It wont make things load slow, they arent stored in memory, they are cached on disk. But you can also use them to track where you have been going and what you have been doing too. If you dont have the size maxed out, you can eat a lot of hard drive space too.

I would clear your cache on your browser

No I don't think that Flash has a cache. Which flash are you talking about? Macromedia Flash? It hasn't got a cache. When you run flash in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the files are stored in your "temporary internet files" folder.\n\nIf you have less memory and you have too many programs running, then it runs slowly.

CPU caches\n\nSmall memories on or close to the CPU chip can be made faster than the much larger main memory. Most CPUs since the 1980s have used one or more caches, and modern general-purpose CPUs inside personal computers may have as many as half a dozen, each specialized to a different part of the problem of executing programs.\n\nDisk buffer\n(also known as disk cache or cache buffer)\n\nHard disks have historically often been packaged with embedded computers used for control and interface protocols. Since the late 1980s, nearly all disks sold have these embedded computers and either an ATA, SCSI, or Fibre Channel interface. The embedded computer usually has some small amount of memory which it uses to store the bits going to and coming from the disk platter.\n\nThe disk buffer is physically distinct from and is used differently than the page cache typically kept by the operating system in the computer's main memory. The disk buffer is controlled by the embedded computer in the disk drive, and the page cache is controlled by the computer to which that disk is attached. The disk buffer is usually quite small, 2 to 16 MB, and the page cache is generally all unused physical memory, which in a 2006 PC may be as much as 2GB. And while data in the page cache is reused multiple times, the data in the disk buffer is typically never reused. In this sense, the phrases disk cache and cache buffer are misnomers, and the embedded computer's memory is more appropriately called the disk buffer.\n\nThe disk buffer has multiple uses:\n\nReadahead / readbehind: When executing a read from the disk, the disk arm moves the read/write head to (or near) the correct track, and after some settling time the read head begins to pick up bits. Usually, the first sectors to be read are not the ones that have been requested by the operating system. The disk's embedded computer typically saves these unrequested sectors in the disk buffer, in case the operating system requests them later. \nSpeed matching: The speed of the disk's I/O interface to the computer almost never matches the speed at which the bits are transferred to and from the hard disk platter. The disk buffer is used so that both the I/O interface and the disk read/write head can operate at full speed. \nWrite acceleration: The disk's embedded microcontroller may signal the main computer that a disk write is complete immediately after receiving the write data, before the data are actually written to the platter. This early signal allows the main computer to continue working even though the data has not actually been written yet. This can be somewhat dangerous, because if power is lost before the data are permanently fixed in the magnetic media, the data will be lost from the disk buffer, and the filesystem on the disk may be left in an inconsistent state. On some disks, this vulnerable period between signaling the write complete and fixing the data can be arbitrarily long, as the write can be deferred indefinitely by newly arriving requests. For this reason, the use of write acceleration can be controversial. Consistency can be maintained, however, by using a battery-backed memory system in the disk controller for caching data - although this is typically only found in high end RAID controllers. Alternately, the caching can simply be turned off when the integrity of data is deemed more important than write performance. \nCommand queuing: Newer SATA and most SCSI disks can accept multiple commands while any one command is in operation. These commands are stored by the disk's embedded computer until they are completed. Should a read reference the data at the destination of a queued write, the write's data will be returned. Command queuing is different from write acceleration in that the main computer's operating system is notified when data are actually written onto the magnetic media. The OS can use this information to keep the filesystem consistent through res

What these programs do is occupy your entire RAM so that all the stuff in your running memory is pushed onto the page file. This may improve performance if you are opening a memory hungry appliciation immediately after "defragging" your ram. Any programs already open will be sluggish as they are on page and will take a few minutes to get back into RAM while being used.

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.

Google indexes webpages and stores in their databases and when ever you search the google for a key word and u find a website  and u wont get the data what do u want,there are many reasons for this\n1)the webmaster may changed his content on the page but the google cant up date its cache which is stored in their database\nGetting answers for this problem is \nWhen u searched for some thing and the pages are updated just go through catched page \nhttp://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:v8id9gXDDyUJ:www.indianworld.in/indiantalk/+indianworld.in&hl=en&gl=in&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=firefox-a\nthis may some times helps u\nAnd if u got the site and u want to see the information that u had seen some months ago u can find it from \nhttp://www.archive.org/

Advantages - fast creation, easily modified and saves money\n\nDisadvantages - data can be lost or corrupted, needs backing up all the time.

Prefetch folder maintenance\nJason Johnson\n10.12.2004\nRating: -4.00- (out of 5) Hall of fame tip of the month winner\n\n\nThis tip was submitted to the SearchWin2000.com tip exchange by member Jason Johnson. Please let other users know how useful it is by rating it below.\n\nWindows XP caches frequent applications, services, and files in a folder called "prefetch" to speed the launching of these items. A problem with this is that XP isn't too smart about what it caches -- which includes one-time use setup files and Windows updates, as well as multiple copies of the same applications. This can lead to prefetch bloat and slower boot times.\n\nHowever you can easily clean it. Choose Start, Run and then type prefetch. The prefetch folder will open and you can safely delete many of these unnecessary shortcuts such as updates, patches, temp files, etc. Afterwards, XP should start quicker (you may want to do a defrag or defrag -b to fully realize the benefits.

pretty impossible.the temporary internet files help you view the webpages.Its not possible to view anything or play games or media files if no temporary internet files were stored in your computer.You can disable storing th history of webpages viewed by making the count of last number of pages stored by computer 0.For making your computer faster, you can increase the RAM,upgrade your PC,uninstall useless programs,use CCleaner to clean up cache memory and temp files,install later versions of directX.

To download most websites you have to download some cookies.  The cache retains these so if you go back to the webiste it will download quickly for you.  That's about all a cache does.........

It's probably because your browser has cached the page in temporary memory, so it is being retrieved from your hard drive / memory, rather than from the server.

First load the page with IE or Opera (IE is good for this job) then You can check the tempory internet files folder all the things from the net remains Cached there. Im sure u will find it there.\n\n\nNeo

depends on the browser you have and if you save your passwords on your computer.\n\nIf you use Internet Explorer, he can view your cache very easily.
