I would try to share what I have learnt
Difference Between Intel core 2 duo vs Intel dual core vs Intel Pentium D
Many people are confused what exactly the difference between Intel Core 2 Duo and Between Intel Pentium D or Intel Dual Core processors….
I would try to explain from a END user point a view rather not going in to details architecture over view…
The Simple facts are,
All Core 2 Duo Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Pentium D Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Intel Dual Core Processors are Dual Core Processors…
Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side… runs very hot, not a good OverClocker…
Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform… developed from Ground up with new Architecture called Core… so they are whole new Processors just Jump like Pentium 2 to Pentium 3 or Pentium 4… Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating Intel Pentium D 3.8 GHz ones with ease 
… runs damn cool and super over clocker…
Intel Dual Core Processors are just launched striped down version of Core 2 Duos.. there are 2 in Market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140…. these are not Pentium D rather they are same batch like Core 2 Duo based on the new Core Technology…. they perform same like Core 2 Duos but they were launched with a very low price to counter the market of super low cost but high performer AMD X2 range line up to AMD X2 4000….

U wont get a dell store anywhere in the world.
The only way to buy a dell lappy is via their online system.
if u are really interested do it fast, as they are giving some lappys at discounted prices, available till 2nd November.

me in kolkata, do u know any Local Dell store, here..
and as far my knowledge, i heard that its MRP is >55k, r u sure that it will cost me around 45k… and i will be buying it by March so have lot of option… and if i donot update the RAM to 2GB and keep it 1GB… is it fine.. keep it mind that i will not play game.. but might need graphics memory for Greater Higher level Program…
and i am also thinking about “Acer – Aspire 5584NWXMi” battery backup is 3hr, sound really well… i want to keep my budget around 40k…

and what abt core duo ?????????
about 2 years ago
Core 2 Duo is better than Dual Core anyday, but its also expensive !!! so if you need Core 2 Duo processing power or if u have afford Core 2 Duo then certainly opt for Core 2 Duo…
in C2D Notebook Range think for Dell 1420 with upgrade to 2 GB RAM and 8400 GM.. its a 14.1″ Notebook and with those updates it will come at around Rs. 45k incl TAX in India when you buy from Local Dell Store or hardware dealer !!
