I'm trying to figure out what kind of ram, secondary (on the
motherboard) cache memory is made of....

        Static RAM is made with transistor flip flop circuits, and while
they operate at faster speeds than Dynamic RAM, they require more
space, and cost more.

        Dynamic RAM is made with a capacitor, and can be produced in
less space, with less cost. The computer's main memory is Dynamic
RAM.

        Which of these is secondary cache memory made up of?
