What does 'cache' mean in internet terms?

Your Internet cache is in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard disk. This is where Web pages and files (such as graphics) are stored as you view them. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because it is faster to open them from your hard disk than from the Web. The downside of this is that it takes up space on your hard disk, and it can sometime cause problems in loading a page that you have visited many times before.

Cache memory is placed between the processor and the main memory. To increase the efficiency of ur computer.

Technically L1 and L2 caches are not required.  However, without them, even extremely fast processors would not run anywhere near as fast as they do now.  Since both are used to store commonly executed routines CPU latentcy is substantially reduced, since the CPU does not have to access (relatively slow) RAM to read application instructions.

"browser" is generic term which refers to the program you use to "browse" the Internet.  MS Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. are browsers.\n\nUsually when they say "copy..." they mean for you to copy a web address (URL) into the web address field of your browser so that you can go to the page specified in the link (URL).  "Open your browser" means to start your preferred web browsing program, most likely MS Internet Explorer.

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.........

I assume you mean pagefile or swapfile usage. This is an area of the hardrive that is used by the operating system like RAM. I prevents you just using all your RAM and then having to stop a program and ensures that currently running programs can access RAM.\nTheres a lot more to it than this though.

Exactly how is this related to the Internet?

It stands for dual data rate.  It is one of the slowest types of ram.

Registers are the internal storage place where a CPU place it's operand.  Machine language instructions work on values in specified registers.  That's where computed values are stored also after any operations.\n\nCache is just a trick of the chip-set to make specific parts of the memory more accessible to prevent the CPU to stall while waiting for data to be fetched from the memory.  Normally the cache will contains both instructions to come and data the system expect to  need in the near future.\n\nWhile registers are few and about 64 bits or 128 bits each for a total of about 2KB, they are accessible in real time by the processor, cache is about 256KB to 1Mb of very fast memory that still crawl in respect to processor but still allow it to prevent most data request to cause a general memory request that is so slow that the processor can take a full vacation until it's fulfilled.\n\nHope that help

A hard drive's buffer is used to hold the results of recent reads from the disk, as well as storing information that is likely to be requested in the near future. Much like a cache, the buffer is a data area between the requests being sent to the hard disk, and the data stored on the disk itself.

Internet is a term used meaning across multiple networks.  WWW is the world wide web made up of web pages.  People use the Internet to access pages on the World Wide Web.

the cache has nothing to do with stale pages! But, what i know it that since it is probably on your computer and the firewall is on your computer then you will have no problem working with your cache!

The URL is the abbreviated term (in Internet technology) known as Universal Resource Locator, it essentially holds the Physical "address" (the IP, Internet Protocol) of the website you are visiting, if it has become outdated as stated before it means that the information of the "address" is no longer valid, an analogy would be if someone moves house but does not leave the new address in his old house.\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

A search engine operates, in the following order\n\nWeb crawling \nIndexing \nSearching \nWeb search engines work by storing information about a large number of web pages, which they retrieve from the WWW itself. These pages are retrieved by a web crawler . The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed (for example, words are extracted from the titles, headings, or special fields called meta tags). Data about web pages is stored in an index database for use in later queries. Some search engines, such as Google, store all or part of the source page (referred to as a cache) as well as information about the web pages, whereas some store every word of every page it finds, such as AltaVista. This cached page always holds the actual search text since it is the one that was actually indexed, so it can be very useful when the content of the current page has been updated and the search terms are no longer in it. This problem might be considered to be a mild form of linkrot, and Google's handling of it increases usability by satisfying user expectations that the search terms will be on the returned web page. This satisfies the principle of least astonishment since the user normally expects the search terms to be on the returned pages. Increased search relevance makes these cached pages very useful, even beyond the fact that they may contain data that may no longer be available elsewhere.\n\nWhen a user comes to the search engine and makes a query, typically by giving key words, the engine looks up the index and provides a listing of best-matching web pages according to its criteria, usually with a short summary containing the document's title and sometimes parts of the text. \n.

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
