the Q6600 also has 8MB of cache, 4MB for each dual core. When it is fully utilized it would be the better processor since things run from cache a lot faster than anything else.

You'd have to be utilizing it though to take advantage of it. I would be interested to see if any applications do and what were the difference in results.
