I don't really understand what a L2 cache is, but if two cpu's are identical in every other way but the L2 cache (one is 3mb the other 6mb) is the diffrence in cache size enough to justify paying $300 more dollars?

the L2 cache is where the recently/frequently used data is temporially stored, loading faster the following times, having more means you can have more things running and i see... your looking at the E8200 VS E7300 without even knowing :P

It is a type of very fast temp memory used by your CPU. Depending of the type this memory vary in size but also in logic of saving data in them (as GTR2addict told you) it should save data that is most used on PC, but logic can vary in detecting and saving that data, so bigger does not mean better (but often is).
