-    * Unordered List ItemBuffers are allocated by various processes to use as input queues, etc. Most of the time, buffers are some processes output, and they are file buffers. A simplistic explanation of buffers is that they allow processes to temporarily store input in memory until the process can deal with it.

-    * Unordered List ItemCache is typically frequently requested disk I/O. If multiple processes are accessing the same files, much of those files will be cached to improve performance (RAM being so much faster than hard drives), it's disk cache.

 In Hardware a buffer is a digital or analog stage used to isolate a signal source from the following circuit's loading. This might be the case in Digital where a single output is required to fan out to multiple inputs. In analog it is usually the means to connect a high impedance signal source to much lower impedance circuits, normally with unity gain.
