primarily on the kind of software or peripherals you use.

also be set by hotkeys.

When enabled is selected, a subwindow similar to the one below is displayed
to select the cache write policy. The options for this setting are Write-back
(default) and Write-through for CPU cache.

is accessed only when necessary to update the cache contents with changes in
main memory. Write-through policy accesses main memory every time data is
handled by the processor.
