Cache Memory - HP Vectra VE5 3 Supplementary Manual

Cache Memory

The microprocessor has two 8 KB first-level caches: one for the instruction codes and the
other for data.
The HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 3 PC has 256 KB of second-level cache memory, which is
soldered onto the system board.
The HP Vectra VE 5/xx has a socket for a 256 KB second-level cache memory module.
When the optional second level cache is not installed in the VE, the cache socket protector
must be installed in the empty cache. The role of the cache socket protector is to properly
terminate the Pentium host bus.
