1. What is the difference between cache and RAM?
Cache is a high-speed memory between the CPU and the main memory, which is used to temporarily store data and instructions commonly used by the CPU to speed up the system. RAM is the main storage of the system, which is used to store data for applications and operating systems.

2. What is SSD and how to distinguish it from HDD?
SSD (Solid State Drive) is a non-volatile storage device that stores data through flash memory. It has faster read and write speeds than HDD (Hard Disk Drive), no mechanical structure, and long life, but the price is relatively higher.
-
3. What is virtual memory and how does it work?
Virtual memory is a technology that uses hard disk space as memory, allowing the system to use hard disk space to expand memory when physical RAM is insufficient, improving the system's multitasking capabilities.

4. Why is the DRAM refresh rate important?
DRAM needs to be refreshed regularly to maintain data. The refresh rate affects the power consumption and speed of the memory. The higher the refresh rate, the faster the memory responds, but it also increases power consumption.
