I am thinking about buying a new motherboard and CPU, and in adverts for
them I have seen things such as W/B Cache, and 256k Cache.. I think I
understand W/B to mean Write Back Cache. What is one of these? Is it better
to have a Write Back Cache than a 256k Cache or it is best to have both?
Would a motherboard with just a Write Back Cache be alright?
I hope someone can help me out here !
Thanks alot,

Eddy.
