Cache memory

Processors have cache memory as we saw when we looked at Win32_Processor. We can find more details about the cache memory using the Win32_CacheMemory class

Most of this should be familiar by now. We create some hash tables as lookups. Then we use Win32_cachememory. The replacement of integer codes by their meaning looked up from the hash table is straight forward. The trick in this is decoding the SupportedSRAM property. its an array of integers so I had to write a function to work through the array members, decode them and add the results to a string that we can then display.
