How much do cables matter...?

I've spent an @ssload of money on pres and mics and what not, but I've never really dumped a lot of money into getting "better" cables. So I wonder... how much do cables really matter? Will there be any appreciable difference if I upgrade my mic/routing cables from generic to "high-end"? Are the more expensive cables really any better, or is that just a lot of marketing and name recognition? Is the benefit simply that they have better build quality and are less prone to fall apart, or is there a sonic benefit as well?

When acquiring gear, I never thing about cabling... so is this something I should be looking into?
