    does cache memory help with running high end games like CoD4 ad Crysis? and if there is, is there a significant differance between 2MB and 3MB on die level 2?

    I believe it can help with CPU intensive games, but the difference will only be a few FPS.

    Only for processing, like A.I, and remembering dead bodies for hours and such. Only GTA 4 (all of the A.I), Fallout 3 (bethesda games love cache), and Crysis (the game effects setting, physics, google it) would benefit from some more cache.

    It is not significant enough that you should pay much more money though...
