between same architecture, go with the cpu with higher clock speed because a 200 MHz difference is more significant than 4mb cache difference.
Cache is used to store bits of data that may be frequently required for a program. Data that's kept in the ram takes some time to access (latency) so there's cache, memory space on the cpu die itself that makes important bit available for quick access.

Go with 2.6.

you'll see video encode tests are faster on 2.66 GHz.

are you gamer?
if yes then for better multithreated performance you nee more clock speed(ghz) than your current cpu means you need quad core for atleast above 3.0ghz
