Most likely the C2D, but what is the 'dual core' processor? That's rather unspecific, as there are many lines of dual core processors, including the C2Ds.

EDIT: It the top one is in an Acer 5710, then it should be a Core 2 as well, unless they put Pentium D's in some of them.

The "dual-core" is probably the Intel Dual-Core, or Intel Pentium Dual-Core.

In either case, I would rather go with the Core 2 Duo.

Well, I did a quick search of the laptop he mentioned for the dual core, and the ones I found had C2Ds in them, so I think that both are C2Ds, in which case the one with the higher clock speed would be the better.

I agree with PohTayToez, assuming they are both C2Ds, the 2.0 should be faster :). However, can you wait until late August? :confused: According to Intel, Core 2 Duo laptops with the Merom chips are supposed to be coming out in late August. the Merom C2D chips are supposed to run 20 percent faster :eek: than the "older" Core Duo laptops currently out. Since they run with less watt usage, the are not supposed to get as hot as todays laptops. :D

Good luck
