Honestly? Get the faster CPU. I doubt the difference in cache will matter much given how advanced today's stuff is.

Personal note: I had a 3700+ which was basically a 3500+ with 1 meg of cache. Waste of money that was; it turned out to hardly perform any better even though it had more cache.

So go for speed.
