as i recall, l1 and l2, though i cant remember the amounts, contain a number of registers of DRAM (32 maybe?) which is part of the reason processors are so bloody expensive. in any case, the registers store small amounts of rapidly accessible information for processing, or the result thereof. as with any memory, More is typically better, if you can access it fast enough.
