how do you tell the difference between conroe and allendale e6300? or is there no such thing as allendale e6300?

Conroe has 4mb cache, and Allendale has 2mb cache. The E6300 and E6400 are Conroes, with 2mb cache disabled, but still with 4mb total. Allendales are the E4xxx series, as they only have 2mb cache period, not 4mb with 2mb disabled like the E6300 and E6400.

Actually, an E6300 can be either a Conroe or an Allendale depending on the stepping with the earlier chips being Conroe and some of the newer ones being Allendale. Here is a good thread on this subject LINK

And for a listing of the s-spec's and steppings to further explain here is an Intel link. LINK L2's are Allendale and B2's are Conroe.
