P4 with 2mb L2 cache.

i just noticed on newegg.com that they have pentium 4s with a 2mb L2 cache i only saw them with a 1mb L2 cache before. How much of a performance difference would doubling the L2 cache make or cache on a processor in general?

I believe all P4 6xx series have 2MB of L2 in addition to the 64bit extentions
