Thanks for your quick reply sakuraguy,
by the way, Is the Pentium D Dual Core same with Core 2 Duo processor??

 

[sakuraguy]

Core Duo and Core 2 Duo are both dual-core processors based off of the Pentium-M architecture which in turn was based off of the Pentium 3 architecture.

Core Duo was only released as a laptop processor (codenamed Yonah) and does not feature 64-bit support. It was, in a way, 2 Penitum-M's glued together.

Core 2 Duo is currently released as a desktop processor (codenamed Conroe) and features full 64-bit support as well as best performance the consumer world has yet seen (a USD$300 Core 2 Duo beats the socks off of a USD$1000 flagship AMD FX-62). a laptop version of Core 2 Duo should be released later this month (codenamed Merom) and will show a slight performance boost over the Core Duo series although not very significant.
