• The computer processor can access this information
                                       quickly from the cache rather than having to get it

                                       from computer's main memory.





                                  • Fast access to these instructions increases the
                                       overall speed of the program.





                                  • Cache memory is located in two general locations:

                                       inside the processor (internal cache) and on the
                                       motherboard (external cache)
