RAM = Random Access Memory. That's the volatile high speed memory that is used inside a computer that lets you store internal applications and data. Everything written to RAM is lost when you turn off the computer, so usually, important data is written to a long-term storage device, such as a disk or "Flash Memory". CPU = Central Processing Unit. It is also sometimes called the ALU or Arithmetic Logic Unit. It's the part of the computer that makes decisions and causes things to happen. The CPU has built in instructions that allow it to perform some very basic tasks, such as: Add the contents of register 1 to the contents of register 2 and store the results in register 2. If the contents of register 1 are greater than the contents of register 2, continue execution of this program at line 101, otherwise continue execution at the next line. There are many such "low level" commands that are executed by the CPU, and when these simple commands are being executed at a rate of over 1 million instructions per second, you get some pretty amazing results.
RAM can be part of the CPU.
cache
It can't.
no, it plugs into the motherboard. usually to the right of the CPU
In certain applications, the overall speed may be dependent on the RAM. If you have a fast CPU but very little RAM then your performance will be slowed.
cpu
known as cache, it is embedded in the CPU on all modern chips (CPU's). the CPU RAM, or Cache, is a small amount (less than 50Kb) of very high speed ram. L1 and L2 cache is embedded in new CPU's so that the CPU can work out multiple parts of code, so that less fetch-process-verify-send procedures are made with the system ram, of which holds the whole program.
