Default 2mb cache vs 8mb cache?

I have a Maxtor 120gb (2mb cache) installed as my master. It is partitioned
78.3gb:36.1gb.
I also gave a 30gb slave (Full).
I just bought another Maxtor 120gb (8mb cache). Both Drives are Maxtor
DiamondMax 9.
Should I use the new drive as the Boot - Primary/Master?
Will I see any increase in performance that would warrant me from putting in
all this time. Backups and reinstalling everything could take me over a week
or should I just use the new drive as a slave.
Is there much difference between 2mb vs 8mb cache?
Some System Specs to consider:
MB: ECS K7S5A
CPU: XP1800
RAM: 1gb PC2100, 266MHz
OS: WinXP Pro
