C Cian Well-known member Jul 16, 2003 14,262 Dublin, Ireland Jan 14, 2006 #2 Cache is extremely, extremely fast memory thats on the processor die. The more the better, basically - it makes pulling regularly used data out of RAM quicker. Preferably more L1 or L2 than L3, but its all good.

That question can't be answered - bit like asking if a 1600 cc car "will be enough?" A CPU will work with zero cache but, as MOYB states, the more the better since it provides a speed advantage.
