Understanding CPU Cache....?
I was hoping someone could explain the different levels of cache on the G4 and G5....I understand what it does, but it seems from the specs of the ibook (what i'm currently thinking of buying) that the G4 only has 512k of L2 cache...no L3?
The reason i'm curious about it is that i need to run multiple simlutaneous Vitrual PCs to finish my MCSE, (i.e. i need to run VPC server 2003 and a couple of VPC XP Clients)...I understand that i need as much ram as possible, but does CPU cache also affect performance in an application like this?
Thanks for your thoughts....
