Internal memory is used for two main purposes:
· To store programmes that are being run
· To store data that the program works on.
Although programs (ie software) may seem different from data, they are treated in exactly the same way- the computer excutes a program, instruction by instruction.
Within the computer there are two types of memory:
Internal cache- this is located inside the CPU chip also called a primary cache or on- die cache.
External cache- is also on the motherboard but not within the CPU chip- also called secondary cache.
