Performance difference between Xeon 1MB L2 Cache and Xeon 2MB L2 Cache?

Greetings

 

I’m a nubee and this is my first post. I’m looking for some advice about the Precision 670 with dual Xeon 3.6 processors. First question is how much of a difference in performance is there between the 1MB L2 Cache and the 2MB L2 Cache?

 

Thanks

    I know that between the 530 and 670 from dual 1.5 to dual 3.06 ghz series is a big difference ! Not sure about the newer 3.6 stuff.....I will probably wait for Dual Core Chips for my next CPU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Unless you are trying to clunk 50 gig database files a hundred at a time its not going to be more than 15% or LESS difference in Games and Apps.

    More cache is not a great deal when you look at the Diff between 256 and 512 or 128 and 256 there
    is NOT a huge difference. Thats an INTEL marketing strategy but in the real world it doesnt add up to much.
