L2 cache has more recently moved from being on chip off die to being on die. There's still a need to cache between the processor and system which is where L3 comes in. (at the moment) It's in the chipSET, as in Intel 875, nForce 4, etc. The amount of cache can vary within the same chipset family.

If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
