Default C2D vs Quad vs Xeon

I know that with the C2D you get a cpu that has 2 cores and usually 2-4mb cache and with the quads you get 4 cores and a 8mb cache, but whats up with the Xeons? I've never really understood these aside from them usually being in a server system.

They say it has a 8mb L2 cache so does that mean the L1 has a 8mb cache and the L2 the same?

Also now that the 6750 and the 6850 are out running at the 1333 fsb a lot of people are asking the question is the 6x50 worth it or get the quad? I usually say the say cause of the price and future proofing, but what would you ultimately get.

Someone please enlighten me and no links either I want word of mouth!
