I just have a random question but how powerful would just one of the conroe cores be to older chips. I see that the native dual core is amazing but what about a single core?
 
Really we need more info to have a ruff guestimate of preformance. For all intents and purposes, one of a conroe based CPU cores is just as fast as any Single core CPU out there.
 
a single conroe core running @ 2.4 ghz would be faster than a single p4 core running @ 3.6 ghz and about same as 2.9-3 ghz single core a64. Just my guesstimate
 
pretty much any recent chip that's a single core has a dual core equivalent, so you could pretty much just compare that to a c2d to get an idea (pentium d, a64 x2). however, i think i read somewhere that intel is planning on releasing single core core 2 chips as celerons or something sometime (for like $40 or something), and if that's the case you'll be able to find out then.
