Connectivity to the L-caches was handled by the BSB (Back-Side-Bus) for as long as cache has been implemented on-die. I'm unsure if this is the case in the most modern CPUs, but there is no integral reason to change this, so more than likely.

What two primary types of bus lines on the motherboard run between the CPU and the RAM sockets?

The two primary types of bus lines on the motherboard that run between the CPU and the RAM sockets are the address bus and the data bus. The address bus is responsible for carrying the addresses of the data being accessed, allowing the CPU to specify which memory location it wants to read from or write to. The data bus, on the other hand, transfers the actual data between the CPU and the RAM. Together, these buses facilitate communication and data exchange between these critical components.


How does the system bus contribute to the overall system performance?

Your data busses sends information from component to component i.e. your FSB (front side bus)/system bus/internal bus communicates between your CPU and RAM, the faster it runs, the faster information is moved between your RAM and CPU giving your CPU quicker access to that data.
