Note: Although there's no replacement in L2 cache, L1 cache keeps replacement while full. This algorithm is designed for SSD drive because of the write-cycle lifespan. When the L2 cache is full, the data in L2 cache will not be replaced. * LBW (Least Block Written): This L2 alogrithm is to achieve the least data written. When the L2 cache is full, the algorithm discards the data in both L1 cache and L2 cache first. * MBU (Maximum Block Usage): This L2 algorithm is to achieve the better cache capacity combined with L1 cache. Users shall notice this before decide to use SSD/Flash devices as Level-2 cache. Note: There might be a large number of swap data written to the cache, while SSD/Flash devices have limited write-cycle lifespan. When the L1 Cache is full, some data are transferred to the L2 Cache. The data are cached on system memory first. The access speed of system memory is higher than the OS Invisible Memory or SSD/Flash/Other device. Level-2 Cache: uses OS Invisible Memory or SSD/Flash/Other device as a secondary cache medium, supplementary to the system memory (L1 Cache). * Do not simultaneously run the programs which also manage the Invisible Memory.

* Make sure that your Windows OS enables PAE feature. For NVIDIA chipset, it requires nForce 570 or above. Intel 945 chipset family and below are not supported. Normally for Intel chipset, it requires 946 chipset family or above. * Check if your hardware supports Invisible Memory feature at first. The program then shows the detected memory information. Tick the checkbox “Enable OS Invisible Memory” in area ④. To use Invisible Memory, users need to globally enable it first. Need some tweaking to do since I also have Write Caching enabled in Windows. My fast and dirty C:\ CDM run ( cache size. * Supports volume/disk with proprietary file systemĪll runs below are on P67 with 2R0 X18-M G1 on SATA2 ports. * Supports caching for volumes or entire disks * Supports OS Invisible Memory and SSD (Solid-state Drive) as Level-II cache * Supports Write-Through and Write-Deferred modes * Supports caching strategies: Read/Write Caching, Read-Only Caching and Write-Only Caching * Supports LRU (Least Recently Used) and LFU (Least Frequently Used) cache algorithms

Those are the better KITS to test on the AMD FX lines.Well, finally there's a poor man's software disk cache. The 'ideal' AMD kits have JEDEC 'SPD' Rated 'cloned' (XMP) encoding which is optimized for AMD and sometimes slightly different so you're not 'stuck' as you put it DDR3-1333. Fanc圜ache caches data on a logical block. It improves system performance by transparently storing data into memory such that future requests for that data can be served faster. Though 4AM 'to me' I'll edit this post after a few cups of coffee. Fanc圜ache for Volume is a handy and reliable application designed to cooperate with system memory to provide data caching for volumes. I've seen other more in-depth testing on the AMD FX-8150 indicating that overall there's a slight advantage for the DDR3-1866 kits on a most of the AMD FX processors. * WQ213UB4G vs WQ213UX16G (kit) - is ONE stick of RAM (not a matched kit) and its 'kit version' is Quad Channel kit specifically designed for the X79 link Īfter that it makes sense that those (2) "kits" (in one case 4 individual sticks) failed Rated, and I wasn't interested in researching the others. * KHX2400C11D3K4/8GX - is a Quad Channel kit specifically designed for the X79 link
