I have not compared AMD processors as I don't have access to anything but the
1mb l2 cache opterons I have been playing with.

Going from 512K to 1024K on intel xeons was worth about 10% in speed.  So you
won't get a lot of extra performance.  The issue will be how much more does the
larger L2 cost?
