Depending upon what you do on your system, what means more to you in a cpu. The amount of cache or the speed of the FSB?
fsb for sure.. right now i am priming with a 1000 mhz effective FSB, so i can run my memory at full speed in sync

It is the FSB for me as well. I run my FSB at 215 MHZ real speed (430 MHZ effective) and I run in sync with my processor. Since I have only 256K of cache, maximum thoroughput and bandwidth is important to me; also the applications that I run are much more dependent on a fast FSB than a large cache.
