Random Access Memory(RAM) is a faster than physical hard drives. So if you have a small quantity of RAM then the processor will handle a limited number of tasks faster. But when you have high amount RAM, your processor will handle more tasks faster. So adding additional ram makes your computer faster.
To find out if you need more RAM, right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager. Click the Performance tab: In the lower-left corner, you'll see how much RAM is in use. If, under normal use, the Available option is less than 25 percent of the total, an upgrade may do you some good.

Cookies are files created by sites you visit. They make your online experience easier by saving browsing data. The cache remembers parts of pages, like images, to help them open faster during your next visit.
Deleting cookies removes session login information, including the previously entered username and password. However, deleting cookies does not affect passwords you saved in your browser, so when you revisit a site, your browser may automatically fill in the login page with your saved username and password.
Cookies are files you can delete. You probably do not want to block all cookies, because that would really limit the quality of your Internet experience. You can set your browser to ask your permission before accepting a cookie though, and only accept them from Web sites you trust.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap 'Advanced'. Tap 'Website Data' to see a list of cookies. Android does not appear to allow users to view individual cookies. You can delete all cookies, or enable/disable them.

You should periodically clear the cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently. Browsers will normally clear cookies that reach a certain age, but clearing them manually may solve problems with web sites or your browser. A browser's history is a log of sites that you visit.
Cookies are files created by sites you visit. They make
your online experience easier by saving
browsing information.
With cookies, sites can:
- Keep you signed in.
- Remember your site preferences.
- Give you locally relevant content.
Cookies operate in the background, so they're not likely to cause much obvious trouble, but there are some instances where you'd want to delete them. Note: If you're deleting cookies, you'll also probably want to clear your browser's cache.
If a user has explicitly stated that they do not accept non-essential cookies, then any existing non-essential cookies placed by the website should be immediately removed, and this preference remembered so the cookies are not simply recreated a short while later.
Browsing history: Clearing your browsing history deletes the following: Web addresses you've visited are removed from the History page. Shortcuts to those pages are removed from the New Tab page. Address bar predictions for those websites are no longer shown.
The first time you visit a site, the browser will save pieces of the site, because the browser can display the files stored in its cache much faster than it can pull fresh files from a server. The next time you visit that site, the cached files will help cut down the page load time.
It's always a good idea to clear out the cache, or browser history, and clear cookies on a regular basis. The drawback to this is that your saved usernames and passwords will be deleted and you'll need to re-enter them. But on the plus side, your privacy is more secure and your browser will work better.
Although cookies and cache are two ways to store data on client's machine, but there are difference between cache and cookies and they serve different purposes. Cookie is used to store information to track different characteristics related to user, while cache is used to make the loading of web pages faster.
