Figure 17-9 "Memory Cache" field
The cache is a high-speed memory buffer between the CPU and memory (DRAM).
Repeated memory access operations are executed in the faster cache, and not in the main
memory, provided the feature is enabled. In some cases it may be necessary to disable the
cache for certain types of hardware and software because intentional program runtimes or
delay times may be prevented by the fast cache.
[Disabled] Cache is disabled
[Enabled] Cache is enabled
