i have 448 megs of sdram and only 64 megs cache size...?

[h2sammmo]

is there any conflict here? if it is can i change the cahce size from the BIOS? what exactly does the cache do? is it related to the virtual memory? what exactly is the virtual memory thingy?

i'm not sure i understand this...are you asking about the graphics aperture size? it doesn't sound like it...do you mean your cpu's l1 or l2 cache? that can't be changed...

can you be more specific?

HEHEHEHE....I think he means 64k CACHE, that's the Duron L2 cache size. The cache is inside the CPU and you can't modify it and turning it off in BIOS would be just plain stupid. It is an area of 'memory' that the cpu goes to get data. It's MUCH faster than system ram so it's VERY important to system performance.

virtual memory (VM) has NOTHING to do with the L1 cache. VM is hard drive space that is used as "fake ram" when your system runs low on ram.

How the hell did you come up with 448MB RAM? LMAO
