Cache Buffer Size

Does have a larger hard drive cache buffer (8MB instead of 2MB) make a difference under XP?

Thanks for the reply. BTW, if you go to Western Digital's web site then you would see that they also offer the 120GB EIDE hard drive with 8MB buffer at $299, but it is sold out right now.
 
I thought WD is working on hard drives with 12MB buffer right now, can anyone confirm this?

Haven't heard anything about it, but I don't look for those kinda things. If it shows up on a major site, I'll know, but other than that I don't. 12MB cache...mmmm. Of course that would add a few bucks to the drive, but the speed increase would hopefully be worth it.
