    Something to think about....

    Core 2 Duo = two Core Duo chips in a single package

    EDIT: Core 2 Duo EXTREME = two Core 2 Duo chips in a single package
    EDIT: Core 2 Duo = second gen dual core after Core Duo
    EDIT: Sorry my bad.

    I think the benefits of Core 2 Duo are generally less power consumption and more parallelism (very good for gaming or running 50 excel macros at the same time or running video+music+application+download+game at the same time).

    If you run only 1 excel macro on either Core 2 Duo or Core Duo the difference, if any, isn't really that significant imho.

    So how do you plan to use your system?
