Cache Memory - FIC PT-2006 Manual

Cache Memory

Cache memory access is very fast compared to main memory access. The cache
holds data for imminent use. Since cache memory is five to more than ten times
faster than main memory, the CPU's access time is reduced, giving you better
system performance.
The PT-2006 comes with onboard
SRAMs and one cache SRAM module slot which allows you to expand the
cache RAM size. The specification of the cache SRAM module requires Intel
Coast. Standard version 3.X, such as FIC PB512K-3.0.
Please note that for 256K secondary cache, M2 and M3 should be mounted with
32Kx32 Pipeline Burst SRAM. (Please refer to your dealer for the 512KB cache
upgraded and the appropriate SRAM type).
Install Cache SRAM Module
1. Locate the C_SLOT on the mainboard. (See figure below.)
2. Insert the cache SRAM module straight down onto the slot.
