New C2D Macbooks. L2 cache???

[The Stig]

The new C2D Macbooks. How much L2 cache to they have? 2 or 4??? I know the MBP have 4, but I think these might only have 2. Does anybody know for sure?

the 1.83ghz has 2mb of L2 cache and the other two have 4mb.

So the 2.0ghz C2D Macbook has 4mb of L2 cache? Is that right? I sure hope so!

what does L2 cache do, and will the difference between 2 and 4 be noticeable?

For some applications it could make quite a difference.

the more cache the faster the access times for memory will be.
