I feel that newer games like Dungeon Siege 2 will benefit a little more with a 1MB L2 cache, but that is only for AMD CPU's, seeing that Intel CPU's work different & use the cache differently.
AMD's and Intel's cache is used differently? I thought for both of them it is used just like ram, but much, much faster.

Intel processors use it differently. The Prescotts have 2MB L2 cache vs. AMD's San Diego 1MB L2 cache.

Go with Socket 939, not 940. Hey, I don't think that's a good goal. Let's not try to be better than other forums, but just be as good as we can be. Wait a sec, you aren't OCGW, are you? :guh:

The increased cache on the Prescott-2 cores (6xx series) is there to compensate for the longer pipeline depth compared to Northwood (about 10 additional stages) and there is very little performance gain.
CPUs with larger L2 caches tend to do very well when using 64-bit registers, however.
