The conroe does so well because of its shared 4meg caches, the allendales with there 2meg cache do suffer.
However they fare much better than athlon's which at best have only ever had 1meg of cache avaliable per core (the c2d has a unified cache both cores see the same cache) and currently most that are on sale only have 1/2meg of cache!

Spot on Keith.
Zing really there is no architectural difference between the Allendale and Conroe albeit the cache and hence in this test the E6400 suffers... All my other benches put the E6400 10% down on the conroe except for the ones where cache is heavily used.
Oh well I'm still happy beats playing with an Athlon
I even missed the whole Athlon64 upgrade thing as I saw it as only marginal performance gain over an overclocked XP-M but the gap widens with the C2D platform to ~100+% gain hence my upgrade
