Chipset cannot cache the whole system memory

Hello:

How can I get the chipset to cache the whole system memory?

Thanks.

You can't...


Don't think you understand Cache:

L1 Cache:

Primary cache is fast, usually integrated into the CPU chip, and not very large (typically 16K). While it's useful for storing some instructions, it usually relies on a secondary (L2) cache for an all-around boost of system performance.

L2 Cache:

A secondary cache is bigger than the primary cache (usually in the same chip as the CPU) and fits between it and main memory (RAM). It's faster than main memory, but slower than primary cache memory. It's typically around 256K in size.

Here is an Excellent Article
