Hello everybody. I've been wondering if there is a difference between upgrading a L2 Cache 3MB to a L2 Cache 6MB? Will the speed be that of a surprise or is it even worth it at all?? And what does L2 Cache suppose to be???

Cache stores info for the cpu so the cpu doesn't have to go looking on the hard drive for the info. The more it stores, the less it has to go looking...

L2 is Level 2 Cache, the primary cache on a CPU is L1 or Level 1, then there's L2, & on some CPU's even L3...
