personally i'd rather have lower temperatures than have more cache..

the higher cache's have been known to do lots of folding and things as such much better.. at least based on word of xtremesystems...
and i remember the switch from my 3500+ 512mb cache to the opteron 146 1mb cache was a nice difference... so much more responsive, alt tabbing was easier.. everything just felt nicer

Yes, gaming is an other application in which cache makes a rather large difference.

the cache's in amd's don't really make all too much a huge difference... due to the memory controler or something.. blahblah.. lol..

Oh yes I thought you were talking about Intels. More cache on Intels makes a sharp performance boost because the processor doesn't have to access the RAM as often when it has more cache. It makes less of a difference for AMDs because the HT design has reduced the latencies of accessing the RAM, as opposed to the performance penalties that accessing RAM through the Northbridge causes with the outdated FSB design, which Intel are still stuck on.
(Yes I know that my explanation was badly worded but I struggle with wording stuff like this well)
