Best Answer

Core 2 Duo processor has 2, 3, 4 or even 6 MB Cache, depend on the product code. The cheapest C2D has 2 MB cache.

Compare to Pentium Dual Core, which has 1 MB cache, you might think, C2D is a better choice.

From various benchmark, having extra 1 MB cache might improve the performance of the CPU up to 10%, depend on application.

However, C2D currently running on 800, 1066 and 1333MHz FSB. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, it is limited to FSB 800 only.

This limitation is an advantage for Pentium Dual Core if you want to overclock it to 1333 MHz FSB without much problem, since most of current mobos run at 1333 MHz.

For most users who do not care about overclocking, having faster FSB might improve their system responsiveness.
