Subject: What kind of difference will the Xeon's with 2MB of Cache make?

I was wondering let's say you had two systems play each other one with a quad
700 or 900 with 1MB cache per cpu and the other 2MB how will this effect the
results if at all and how would a Dual P4 Xeon at 2.2Ghz compare?

How i understood it was that a dual will get on average 1.7x the performance and
a quad 3.1x  so for a 900Mhz   900x3.1  2.790Ghz
for the Dual P4 2.2Ghz  2200x 1.7  3.740Ghz     but if this is the case why
would people shell out thousands and thousands of dollars for the P3 Xeons with
a meg or two of cache?   I figured there must be a reason ... Maybe someone can
clear this up.    Thankyou
