      Its the same thing dude. Core duo is just the branding that Intel calls their dual-core processors.

      Now, if you're asking about AMD X2 vs Intel C2D; thats a different story.

      Go Intel. AMD is lacking big time against Intel's C2D

        well i think that code duo is is two cpus but they share the same cache

        when dual core, its two separate cpus with cache and everything, just they are on the same motherboard

        so the second one should be better and more expensive as well

                Ahh that's right. Completely slipped my mind about having to procs. Was thinking in terms of a single proc

                      The older Pentium D (2006) were called "dual core" but they are vastly inferior to the current Core 2 Duo (2007) also from Intel. I own both Pentium D and an E6600 series Core 2 Duo with 4 Mb cache. Of course Core 2 Quad owns them both.

                              For server go dual core opteron or better.
                              For home PC go core duo Intel.

                              They are different CPUs designed for different kind of work. You can drive very good a database on an opteron box, but you will have better peformance in games, office and any other home applications with a core duo.

                                Go for quad core. 1.33Ghz bus and 1Ghz DDR3 ;)

                                c2d is better than core duo...less power draining and faster bus...i think the cache was bigger as well. (2x2mb if i remember right)

                                    there are some different exact lingo used
                                    that can be potentially confusing or misleading
                                    as the technogoly and products have been
                                    progressively developed and improved they have
                                    used slight variations of terminology in reference
                                    to them, so be careful and compare the specs.

                                    core 2 duo is newer and better than core duo (without the 2)

                                    so there will be like other exact names used later when they go to 4 and so on, etc.

                                    compare specs like I said

                                    and look at model numbers of chips too
                                    not just the most general name it has
                                    like T7200 is a core 2 duo like I have

                                    keep these kinds of things in mind
