If everything else is the same, I would buy the second. Cache memory is integrated in the chip or motherboard and are more difficult/expensive to upgrade, while the main memory should be easier (and the cost of a memory bank is going to decrease with time, for sure). Then, it depends on your applications, since you may actually need that much RAM or not. GS > > Izaak Williamson Plz., append affiliation.
